Spoken tags for telecom web platforms in a social network

A non-transitory computer program product comprising a tangible computer readable recordable storage medium including computer useable program code for assigning a spoken tag in a telecom web platform, the computer program product including:

• computer useable program code for receiving a spoken tag from a querying user;
• computer useable program code for comparing the spoken tag to a set of one or more template tags;
• computer useable program code for assigning the spoken tag and updating frequency of the spoken tag in the set of one or more template tags if the spoken tag is a match to a template tag;
• computer useable program code for searching for a nearest match, and if the nearest match is within a pre-determined proximity threshold, assigning the spoken tag and updating frequency of the spoken tag in the set of one or more template tags with user confirmation if the spoken tag is not a match to a template tag;
• computer useable program code for assigning the spoken tag and registering the spoken tag as a new tag if the spoken tag is not a match to a template tag and if the nearest match is not within the pre-determined proximity threshold;
• and
• computer useable program code for extracting one or more user attributes from the spoken tag and assigning one or more additional tags associated with the user's location, based on background noise in the spoken tag.
