ETECH Notes: Folksonomy, or How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
Mess
03/17/2005 03:56 AMCory Doctorow:
Here are my notes from "
Fo
lksonomy, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mess," a
conversation between Clay Shirky, Stewart "Flickr" Butterfield, Joshua
"Delicious" Schachter and Jimmy "Wikipedia" Wales at the O'Reilly
Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego. Folksonomy is the process
of letting users generate and apply their own tags to shared items
(such as blog-posts, encyclopedia entries, photos, links, lists or
interests, or what have you) and then discovering which tegs users
share with one another. Unlike previous ventures into this field, the
tags aren't "controlled" -- any user can invent one and any user can
apply them to anything, and yet it all
works.
Jimmy: We launched ours last summer after knowing we needed it for a
long time. For the first two weeks in English Wikipedia, it was a
madhouse with all kinds of categorization. The Germans were more
reserved but after a few weeks it caught on there. Eventually, because
people could adjust categories, it all settled down. We did it because
that's the Wikipedia way -- we never considered doing it any other
way.
Stewart: It's not really categorization on Flickr -- it's about
letting users remember. If I add the "Norma" tag to pix of my mom,
whose name is Norma, I don't think it goes into the Norma category.
The unfortunate thing about the term "folksonomy" is that it implies
that it's a replacement for categorization. People categorize things
by noting what they do or don't have: mammals have hair and live
babies; does it have property a? then it's a whatever.
Joshua: I was collecting 20,000 links in a text-file, and somewhere
along the way I started adding a hash mark and some text, so I could
e.g. grep out all the WiFi links and send them to a friend. Later I
built a Web version so I could send an URL to a friend, but it was
standalone. Eventually I made it massively multiplayer. The
interesting group behavior is the tagging that isn't categorization,
e.g., "To read" -- not a category, though it has a big group and a lot
of social and user context. People make tags for groups working
together, workflow in RSS -- that's what's most surprising.

Stop the music
04/09/2004 04:02 PMI’ve been viewing a lot of sites while reviewing for BlogSnob and I’m a bit
annoyed. What’s with all the music on people’s sites? Is
this 1998 again?
In case you were thinking about having your favorite tune load up
when people visit your site—don’t. It takes a long time to
load. The sound quality generally stinks. It crashes some browsers.
And most of all, your musical tastes are not likely the same as all of
your visitors. I have my own musical selections, thank you. I
don’t need to hear yours.

Now You Can Sell Your Music On iTunes
Now You Can Sell Your Music On iTunes
04/09/2004 04:00 PM(HOLLYWOOD) - Independent artists and labels will be glad to learn
that they don’t have to be distributed by a major label to get a
distribution contract with the iTunes Music Store, now revolutionizing
music sales with millions of dollars in downloads.
But finding out how to do it was often a painful and time-consuming
process - until now.

I used the iTunes Music Store for
the first time today. I actually didn't want to install it, but Apple
is bundling it with QuickTime these days, so
you have to get one to get the other. Then my wife, Annie, heard
about it, and she wanted to try it.
It was a great experience. It's pretty much a matter of creating
an account, finding a song, then clicking "Buy Song." You can even
surpress the "Do you really want this song?" warning so you can just
click with wild abandon, racking up $0.99 charges right and left.
The real test came when I taught Annie how to use it (because, you
know, you can never have enough Celine Dion). She took to it
right away. The search has a spellcheck feature, which is handy when
trying to spell "Alanis Morrissette," and the idea of double-clicking
a song to hear a clip is very intutive. Annie doesn't know the names
of any of the songs she likes, but she knows what they sound like, so
she just kept double-clicking until she heard what she wanted, then
she hit "Buy Song."
The only glitch we ran into was that we first fired it up under my
Windows account, logging into iTunes as Annie. Now, when we open
iTunes under Annie's Windows account, again logging in to iTunes under
her account, none of the "Purchased Music" we bought under my Windows
account is there. For some reason, the purchased music is tied to a
specific Windows account, not an iTunes account. I'm not quite sure
what to do about this — if you know, drop me a line.
Some music isn't available as single tracks, for some reason. For
instance, Annie wanted a song off the De-lovely soundtrack,
but it was marked "Album Only." Depressing, but I'm sure there's some
high-powered business reason for it.
We haven't tryed burning anything to a CD yet, but when I do, I'll
let you all know how it goes. Hats off to Apple — iTunes is a
great piece of work.
