Mike has some interesting tidbits about TagWorld over at Techcrunch.

My original post about TagWorld has been, by far, the most popular post on my tech blog here at WordPress.com. I’m not sure if this is because some type of buzz is building about the service or if TagWorld employees are reading to see what else I’ll say about it. I’m finding that the majority of Technorati searches leading to my blog are regarding the Tagworld category, which I’ve barely posted anything into.

My initial feelings about TagWorld are this: it’s a great service, and they’re making it better every day. It’s a bit confusing for your normal everyday user, which is why I don’t see it ever being real competition for eyeballs with MySpace. What they lack in ease of use, however, they’re making up for in features: today, the Tagworld team rolled out user video storage. Every single Tagworld user gets 1 gig of storage space, and you can upload just about any type of file you can imagine. If you upload video, you can share it with friends, or just use the vault as your own private storage locker. You can also “bookmark” videos on other video sharing services such as YouTube, and either share THOSE or keep them private as well. You can also stream videos directly from your locker into your Tagworld profile page, which means no more copying and pasting video codes from horrible sites for use in your MySpace account.

Can Tagworld take over MySpace? Nah. They’ve got over 500,000 users, but MySpacers are not going to abandon the service just because Tagworld offers more powerful control over your own material. 90% of MySpacers are people who just want to fire off quick messages and leave comments on other people’s pages, and MySpace is perfectly fine for a user like that. If you’re like me, however, you want more control, and Tagworld is offering that. However, I have no problems admitting that I’m in the minority and probably will continue to be so. Early adopters won’t make TagWorld a success; the only thing that can make Tagworld a success is if they’re able to pull some of those eyeballs away from MySpace, and I don’t see that happening on a large scale of any sort.
