Sometimes the mechanism that posts tweets seems to be posting the least relevant tag as the Twitter #hashtag.
For Example:
- http://twitter.com/StackGaming/status/113546504408547328
Can you answer this? Cannot use Keyboard/Mouse? http://t.co/DYaHzJE #pc
This should use the more relevant #deusexhumanrevolution (like this tweet) from the deus-ex-human-revolution tag. - http://twitter.com/StackGaming/status/113274700477640704
Is there a technique to knocking down doors? http://t.co/mvqYHST #xbox360
Once again the #hashtag offers no context. Knocking down the door in what Xbox 360 game? #deadisland should have risen to the top.
Proposal
So what I want to propose (relevant to the game metatag proposal) is to add a weight/priority to the tags for tweets and other social media.
So that the most relevant tag to the question is included with the social media post, I propose the following priority based on metatags:
- game-series
- game
- No meta tag (assumes new game tag)
- platform
- Specific platforms, e.g. ds, xbox-360.
- Generic platforms, e.g. pc, atari-platforms.
- genre e.g. first-person-shooter, platformer.
- gameplay e.g. item, achievements, pacifism
- company e.g. nintendo, apple.
