Supr.c.ilio.us: The Blog

Some time ago, I mentioned the creation of Supr.c.ilio.us -- which is the only true social social tagging tagging website on the internet. Now, I'm a developer who works primarily in building web-based communities centered around advocacy or politics. My primary interest is not the internet, its people -- and how the internet can help people circumvent our governments in the pursuit of social justice, peace, and progress. That said, I'm not particularly interested in "tagging", "folksonomies" or the "web 2.0". I get into arguments with dear friends whenever these subjects arise, because my constant question is -- "yes, but why is someone going to want to tag that -- and even if they did tag it what does tagging it do for them or us?"

I felt I was alone in not caring about the web 2.0... then I found a new favorite blog: Super.c.ilio.us: The Blog. Here are just a few of my favorite gems I've read so far. Definition of flickr of
