I can’t believe Google Reader _still_ doesn’t have search or renaming of tags.

*@don*: thanks for that tip. I agree its doable, but its a pain nonetheless. Besides, I don’t understand why they won’t add this feature — its not hard, its useful, and clearly lots of people want it!

*@v*: I would hardly call this method “quick” :-)

1) Filter by the tag you want to change (on the right side of the screen there’s a box “Filter by name, tag, or URL”)

2) Add the new tag name to the first item to get it into the list of tags

3) Choose “Select: All [#] Subscriptions”

4) Add them to the new tag

5) Go delete the undesired tag

I agree it’d be much better to have the ability to rename them…but it’s not overly difficult to do it this way.

Was browsing the web to see if this functionality was hidden somewhere– instead, found a few blog entries begging Google to catch up. C’mon, Google, this is beneath you.

At least give us the option of selecting multiple stored blog entries and batch-applying tags. That way, at minimum, we could select everything we’d tagged (example) “Social Software,” apply “Smart Mobs” to them, and then delete the “Social Software” tag.

As it stands, we have to go through and do each one by hand. It’s excruciating.
