Tag relevance voting on amazon.com
December 14, 2007 9:39 AM   Subscribe

I'm doing some research, a timeline, on the evolution of user-experience on the web. I know, via AskMeFi (thank you!) that it was late in 2005 when amazon.com began testing tagging in general but does anyone know, specifically, when amazon.com began allowing users to flag or vote on the relevance of individual tags?

Best answer: Tags were officially introduced on November 11, 2005, but there was no announcement of the (minor) improvements you're asking about.

Still, playing a bit with the Amazon pages on the Internet Wayback Machine, I discovered these features were not available in May 2007 (Compare the tags section here and here, for example).

You can play more and probably get to a more precise date, but I'd guess they were introduced only very recently.

Response by poster: I forgot all about the Wayback Machine. Doh! Thank you, dov.
