How can you use custom types/taxonomies? [closed]

The custom types/taxonomies feature of WP 3.0 is a neat one. I can think of a few ways to use the duo: to display projects, a portfolio, or a gallery. What else can custom types and taxonomies be leveraged for?

Custom types can be leverage for anything that can be repeatable. So as you said a gallery or portfolio would work very nicely. I’ve already used them on a few different projects:

  • Recipes
  • Employee Roster
  • Callouts for the homepage
  • rotating sliders.

Other ideas are:

  • products for a commerce site—The custom taxonomies would make for some powerful option for each product.
  • For custom sidebar content. Y
  • An Ad manager.

The possibilities are really endless. Anything that can be seen as a collection is really what this is for.
