We're proud to announce a new feature on the nobosh answers site: The ability to tag questions. Tags give any nobosh answers community member the opportunity to categorize questions with identifying words or phrases.

Tags are powerful because they provide an efficient way to navigate on the site and find information important to you. Let's say you read a great question about retirement planning that has been marked with the tag "401k." Simply click the "401k" tag and you'll find all the information on nobosh answers that has also been tagged "401k." If you ever find question without the appropriate tag, simply click the "Add Tag" button and categorize it how you see fit. The power to tag is in your hands - and we know you'll do a great job with it.

The new features will continue to be rolled out, so keep checking back to see the latest. As always, let us know what you think.

Tag - you're it!

What is nobosh answers?
nobosh answers is the newest brainchild from the creators of nobosh, which is an optimal source of financial news, rumors, investing ideas, and general life pieces.  Nobosh answers takes the original concept of nobosh to the next level by providing an open forum for you to ask finance-related question, lend a helping hand to a fellow entrepreneurs, and get a sense of what on the minds of business people everywhere.

Concept Behind the Project
The philosophy behind nobosh answers (and nobosh, for that matter), lies in its name.  The term "bosh," which is  presently used to describe something as nonsensical and absurd (i.e., "That's bosh!"), is believed  to have its origins in the Turkish word, bos, meaning "empty, worthless."  Used often by Richard Nixon and Sigmund Freud (during his arguments with Carl Jung), "bosh" came to be used in the manner with which we are familiar today.  Hence, our team felt the term "nobosh" was most appropriate to represent the nature of our content - no nonsense and useful information.  We strive to include everything you need and nothing you don't.  Here is where you'll find no nonsense...no bosh.
