I’ve been podcasting for nearly 3 years now at Indie Launchpad and the constant bane of my existence is the creation of show notes. What sounds like a relatively simple thing, usually results in lots of cut and paste, and errors aplenty. My show notes consist of 3 sections, the usual preamble, the core body of bands featured with their review and web page links and my Technorati tags. I’ve been meaning to knock up a show note creator for a while, but just haven;t got around to it, but I thought I’d at least try to write a little utility that would enable me to create Technorati tags without having to mess with HTML. The Technorati Tag Creator is the result. Sorry at present it’s only for Windows users, though a Linux and Mac version may come in the future.

This is a very simple program. Just enter each tag separated by a new line, i.e.

and then click on the [Create Tags] button. The tags are then ready on your clipboard for pasting. The program itself is only 25KB, yes I mean kilobytes. I find it funny that the installable version is over 3 times larger, but have stuck with this, so you get your nice shortcuts, etc.

If you are curious why this program is so small, I shall let you into a secret…. but that’s a whole other post.
