More than one word tags
Posterous has probably the best tag system I've seen where tags are typed in, a list is displayed of matched and if no matches are found a new tag is created... but the tag can be multiple words e.g. 'Cinta Notes'
If I enter that into CintaNotes then I get two tags, one for cinta and one for notes which means I have to select both of those tags to get that one exact message that contains both tags.
Answer
Ex: If I wanted to tag "one word," I would type "one Alt+0160 word"

The feature looks pointless to me. But if it gets popular, here's a possible implementation.
Check out tagging mechanics in CASEapps Tags application for Mac in it's screencast here:
Probably it could be modified for multi-term tags. For example, user types "three word tag", then hits a special key (like ';'), and the words are grouped into a tag, which is renderred in an intuitive single block.
I hope it's obvious I'm not promoting the product, it's just an example of a good implementation.
Hello None None and Nieralyte!
Unfortunately this is how the tag system of CN works. But there's a little trick allowing spaces in the tags. It's using the "hard space" - Alt+0160 on the numeric keypad. It looks like a simple space but it will be not treated as tag separator.
Thanks!
Not all human notions are one word (social studies, information technology, art therapy etc.). And when I want to use them as tags I expect just that. But instead of 3 tags (as in the example) in CintaNotes I get 6 (social, studies, information, technology, art, therapy). There certainly is some logic to it but it's just NOT ORGANIC (as was stated about CintaNotes on the forum).
You can say that we can use tags like art_therapy or foreign_languages, and that can be a workaround but it's not natural.
There is some technological limitation to using spaces?!..
I've read the rationale for the initial decision and while I understand it I don't share it (and less as time and more time goes by: applications should strive, IMO, to approach the user POV and become more 'organic' and user-friendly, as time goes by). Workarounds create exceptions in the 'normal' behavior and are just one more hurdle to overcome (and not really solutions).
The "problem" seems based around the input: how to differentiate between different tags?
There are, as I see it 3 possible solutions:
1 - Initial delimiter (like Twitter uses it -- even f they don't allow spaces either, strangely -- eg. #work #2014)
2 - Final delimiter (as YouTube uses it, allowing the uploader to tag videos with multi-word terms -- by using ,)
3 - A composite of 1 and 2: initial and final delimiter (for instance, "my tags")
My favorite(s): 1 or 2 (3 is overkill and not really needed).
Since this issue gets a lot of votes I think this issue will be put into the pipeline quite soon. However there are a few features which are ahead.
Plus. That same Twitter scenario is the one where solution 3 makes (perfect) sense (in order to allow for the use of multi-word tags, that is).
BTW:
I've also neglected to mention I see great potential in this Application. I would have not ventured making this (or any other) suggestion otherwise.
I wish you all the best in the New Year, I'll try to make this one wish come true ;)
Will follow the new developments with added interest.
Please take a look here, this is a very similar idea and already has a lot of votes:
http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3781-more-than-one-word-tags/
If you don't mind, I'll merge this idea with that one.
Last message was 2 years ago? When it will be implemented?
Best wishes!
Tags: Multi word tags; Implement today!
When it gets to the top of requested features ;) Right now it still falls a bit short.
