MrTaggy
a social tag-based search tool for efficiently exploring topics on the web without the noise
related focus area: Information & Communication Technologies
"MrTaggy" is a prototype search engine and recommendation engine for exploring topics quickly and efficiently on the web. By using social tags that people add to webpages (for example, while using social bookmarking services), and applying a unique PARC algorithm that reduces the noise (for example, variations on tag phrasing) while increasing relevance, MrTaggy delivers the user more relevant results. MrTaggy also implements a novel user interface to explore the tag space.

Living Laboratory
In the spirit of open innovation, this is one of the places where PARC scientists and engineers share their prototype web-based services, alpha-stage software downloads, proof-of-concept for various competencies, and collaborative development programs. These are available free to the public for trial and feedback; in turn, we hope to draw on the diverse perspectives the online community will share. We do not currently provide access to inactive projects (e.g., Map Viewer) here.
