Notes

  • how do I tag something for another person
    • motivations about personal relationships
  • tagging for self started this
  • tagging for others is where profit is
    • provide information for sponsors (using “tagcamp” could be a way for sponsors to idnetify me as a part of their target audience)
    • social meaning is something that the sponsors are tapping into
  • agreed upon tags allow you to attach context to a tag
    • metadata for metadata
  • social tagging has a bunch of other motivations built in
    • give tags to get tags
  • everyone is looking for a unique tag so they don’t have a cluttered space on tagging
    • mention of nptech as a unique tag for a given community
  • part of the motivation for tagging is that it can help fulfill a function
    • tagging to push something to an RSS feed (for example)
