When People Tag People Redux

05-Oct-05

[Tagalag][1] is an interesting take on the concept I wrote about in [When People Tag People][2]… almost the inverse, in fact. And the way it’s implemented certainly piques interest. After all, who _doesn’t_ want to know what people are saying tagging about them?

Evolution is Del.icio.us!

The next version of my blog will be based on a piece of software I’ve named __Clutter__. Clever […]

Thinking around the box
