Stephen Downes on tags and communities
Posted on:: February 28th, 2005
Terrific speech — provocative, funny, asking great questions — by Stephen Downes (transcript mp3) about what we can do to keep tags from forming power laws that suppress community. How can tags encourage community? He suggests embedding a pointer to FOAF files in RSS feeds, but the presentation is much broader than that. (Here’s a post of mine that relates to one point he makes.) [Thanks to Scott Rosenberg for the link.] [Technorati tags: tags taxonomy Downes ]
