BE: Composing the Digital Self

Thursday, 6 Feb 2006: Technorati was the topic of the day, and discussion focused on the contribution to be made toward researching by using online applications such as Technorati, Alexa, and PubSub as sources of information for validating and/or substantiating information from online sources. We talked about “tags” and “tagging” last Thursday and again today as an emerging method for sorting information: folksonomy as opposed to taxonomy – information sorted in a bottom-up method that depends on the masses of people for assigning categories and waits for the “piles” to sort themselves out.

So now it’s your turn to assign tags!
