This month, eXtension added a special topic—swine flu. During the last four days in April, 15 new releases had swine flu tags as well as their primary category tag, usually ‘disasters.’
Another special topic is financial crisis. It too is a secondary tag. (Releases are often in the personal finance category.) We had 43 April releases tagged financial crisis.
