I always loved tags but now it really became apparent how useful they are. Especially in a knowledge environment like Factolex. Let’s say you wanted to display a list of:
While Alex is programming the really tricky bits I just committed my first lines of PHP to enhance the knowledge experience. Next to working on design and XHTML/CSS I have to say it’s pretty relaxing to actually code something.
Factolex proudly presents another way of exploring the knowledge through … drum roll … the tagcloud.

Enjoy winter time and our special coming in December!
Just like a real lexicon or any other serious book, Factolex now has its own index of terms. This is useful when you don’t know exactly how a word is spelled or if you just want to browse around.
Thanks to the great help from Chrissy and Matteo, we have reached our first milestone: over 100 terms and 600 facts. In the mean time Alex is fine-tuning the scripts and adding a couple of improvements to the way terms are added. It is now even easier to use and faster. I love JavaScript! :)
Fresh out of the factolex kitchen: your personalized lexicon.
By selecting facts of terms you find relevant, factolex automatically creates your personal lexicon. This is very useful when you are doing research on a topic or just want to have a list of terms you read up on most.
Access your lexicon by clicking on the link in the header area:
Other people’s lexicon
You can also view lexica compiled by other people, for example nader’s lexicon
Alex finished a cool new feature: the integration of google maps on term pages with the tag “city”. This is very useful when you don’t know where a city is located. Where London is should be clear to everybody I guess :-)
