Tagging a penguin's wing with a research tag changes their drag coefficient, resulting in altered social behaviour, most notably less success in breeding.

As well as hindering conservation efforts, the penguins' poor breeding success may also mean that birds tagged in previous experiments have yielded misleading scientific data.

"We may have to reconsider our present knowledge on the life-history traits of penguins, such as breeding success and chick survival, which over the years has been drawn almost entirely from flipper-banded birds," warn Gauthier-Clerc and his colleagues in their paper in Biology Letters.

RSS feeds of keyword-tagged photos

RSS feeds of keyword-tagged photos 08/09/2004 03:18 PM
Flickr "tags" are user-created keywords that describe their photos. If two or more users hit on (or agree upon) the same tags, all photos with a common tag are grouped together. That's pretty cool -- a kind of Wiki-style serindipitous metadata thing. What's cooler is that every tag automatically gets an RSS feed, so that you can watch all the photos tagged with "cuba" or "outdoor" or "red" in your RSS reader, getting alerts every time a new one comes along. Here's the 100 most popular tags in Flickr -- click each for a link to its RSS feeds (bigger words in the list represent more-popular tags). (Disclosure: I'm an advisor to Ludicorp, the company that makes Flickr). Link (via Gomi No Sensei)

Update: Joshua notes, "the tagging system in flickr was inherited from del.icio.us"

Namespaces and Social Networks in a
Tagged World

Namespaces and Social Networks in a
Tagged World 02/05/2005 09:12 PM

David Weinberger has a brilliant quick statement about how BOTH namespaces and social networks will be used to disambiguate tags'.

I sure as hell hope so. I'd hate it if there was nothing to disambiguate tags.

Namespaces and Social Networks in a Tagged World
As the interest in tagging and folksonomies grows, we are going to be faced with a choice: Namespaces or social networks.

The problem is that tags are too simple and ambiguous. (That's also their strength, but we'll let that go for the moment.) As tens of millions of people start tagging Web resources, many tags will include too many disparate items: When you're searching for pages about London, do you really want to get pages about Jack London? And, no one really wants information about London; we always want information about some aspect of a topic. So, the "London"-tagged pages about London's club scene are noise to someone looking for information about London's form of government.

Namespaces, or domains of discourse if you prefer, are one way around this. For example, the Global Voices group that encourages inter-national blogging, suggests tagging relevant pages with the prefix "gv" as in "gv:ghana" or "gv:thailand." We will undoubtedly see a proliferation of such prefixes, and if tagging really takes off, we may end up with an unregulated version of the domain system in which multiple organizations squabble over who gets to use a particular prefix.

Social networks provide an alternative. If I knew who the people associated with Global Voices were, and if I knew who was the author of particular tags, I could search for the "ghana" tag and find only the ones created by GV members. That wouldn't be perfect because it would get pages tagged by GV members for personal use, but it might be good enough, especially with further refinement.

This is not an either/or. I'm confident we're going to see both namespaces and social networks used to disambiguate tags. And there are undoubtedly brilliant ideas waiting to be had. But it seems highly likely to me that social networks are going to become more important than ever in a world gone made with tagging.

[Operating Manual for Social Tools]

I love this piece.

It's especially heartening for me to listen to David talk about social networks - as I know he's against the 'Friendster/Tribe' school of thought - but seems to have accepted a more generalized notion of what social networks are - and will be.

Anyway - I never said I liked those explicit social networks - it's just that it was so much dam fun gaming them (apparently Joi had fun -too!) But it's up to folks like David - who keep us honest - especially when it comes to the difference between something explcit liek calling someone "your friend" - versus truth and honesty.
