Sean B. Palmer wrote something on Keywords and Cadences that I find brilliant. Still processing it all, but at least now I have something written by someone that’s obviously much smarter (and definitely much more articulate) than I am to refer to next time this subject comes up.
I feel that keywords are fairly useless in this day and age for searching. It can be useful to categorise things, but that’s only really for finding related things. This is often the case when people categorise or tag blog posts or photos. I think quite often the category or tag names are more useful to the author and not so much the reader - the reader is probably more interested in “related” items, see A very different approach to tagging. But I’m going off at a tangent and I’m not doing his article justice - there are many interesting things in there.
