I had to look that one up just be sure I had the right meaning in my mind. 29 Jul, 14:08:34 PDT> sassymonkey: i was trying to find info on yesterday's tagging session. 29 Jul, 14:08:44 PDT> gabber203: We had a wiki where I used to work. 29 Jul, 14:09:14 PDT> e: well i was going to say when you want to know about anything, go to wikipedia and type it in and you'll probably find the info you want 29 Jul, 14:09:24 PDT> sassymonkey: nichi denise did some live blogging at yesterday's tagging session. you can see it here: http://flamingohouse.blogs.com/daily_dose_of_denise/2006/07/daily_dose_of_b_14.html 29 Jul, 14:09:34 PDT> e: again, it's socially constructed, so not authoritative, but it's very useful 29 Jul, 14:10:58 PDT> e: if you're in data systems, you probably have a definite taxonomy in your head that can be difficult to get around, the concept that there are shifting meanings and how that could ever be useful 29 Jul, 14:10:59 PDT> gabber203: I agree on wikipedia having anything you need, but here's the question. My understanding is that just anyone can add or edit a wiki. So as time goes by, do we really want nonprofessional (for lack of a better word) people explaining things to us?

But it's catching on like fire. 29 Jul, 14:04:06 PDT> e: yes, but it's not private, if you don't want the pic to be seen, then don't put it up there 29 Jul, 14:04:07 PDT> sassymonkey: with flickr you do have the option to keep photos private or for friends only to view them (but they have to be registered) 29 Jul, 14:04:36 PDT> gabber203: Tags is another concept I'm trying to grasp. I have a database background and it's hard to think that just anyone is basically creating new fields for a database somewhere. 29 Jul, 14:04:38 PDT> e: but the picture stillc can be seen anbd retrieved, it's just not easily don'e if it's private 29 Jul, 14:04:56 PDT> e: yeah, it's wild. there was a session about that yesterday

29 Jul, 13:44:11 PDT> e: sassy and i, who don't even know each other and are in different countries, are thinking in tandem here :) 29 Jul, 13:44:37 PDT> sassymonkey: unlike message boards (in my opinion) it's a bit less exclusive. You can comment on someone's blog regularly but aren't necessarily obligated to comment on all the other commentors blogs. 29 Jul, 13:44:51 PDT> e: and the thing is, it's not a closed circle, anybody can stumble into your blog, they doing have to join anything 29 Jul, 13:45:07 PDT> sassymonkey: (as you can tell...we kinda like blogs, lol) 29 Jul, 13:45:18 PDT> e: (this is getting eerie) 29 Jul, 13:45:31 PDT> sassymonkey: *but* i still think that both message boards and chat rooms can be really useful. 29 Jul, 13:45:45 PDT> e: this chat room, for instance 29 Jul, 13:45:45 PDT> nichi: When I checked out Blogger last year I thought it would be a good way to cronicle my stop smoking attempt. It turned into a diary which I'd rather keep in a real book. 29 Jul, 13:46:03 PDT> e: a good percentage of blogs are diaries 29 Jul, 13:46:28 PDT> nichi: Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm FEELING the excitement and i wanna go for the ride. Just don't think I'm understanding it all the way.
