Tree-cutting and tag-spinning

Tree-cutting and tag-spinning 02/05/2005 10:19 PM
I have been mulling over a big old post about tagging and folksonomies, but book work has taken priority this week, and by now most of what I wanted to say has been said by others (here are some go od links).

So this is all I think I'll throw in to the discussion -- and append to my previously posted skepticism that people beyond early adopters will pursue tagging with any avidity: "Tagging" is a great word. "Categories" are onerous; they sound like work. "Tags" sound like play -- like a game we played when we were tots. (Hey, it's ludic!)"Categories" also implies, to many users, a mental model in which each item must live in one category to the exclusion of others. "Tags" encourages overlap, duplication, experimentation.

I like the way David Weinberger puts it he re, as he compares older-fashioned information hierarchies with folksonomic tagging: "The old way creates a tree. The new rakes leaves together.... The old way -- trees -- make sense in controlled environments where ambiguity is dangerous and where thoroughness counts. Trees make less sense in the uncontrolled, connected world that cherishes ambiguity." And the world of software is so allergic to ambiguity that we should cherish any new development that opens a space within the digital realm for multiple meanings.

If the software that begins to harness the tagging phenomenon can stay true to the spirit the word evokes, I think it has a chance of overcoming human intertia and resistance to doing more than the bare minimum of metadata labor. Which places a premium (as Ross Mayfield points out) on ease of use. If people are going to tag things at all, you need to make it really easy for them to do it fast. Del.icio.us -- once you set up its toolbar shortcut -- is pretty good, though I think it would be great if it showed you how other people tagged a link before you did your own tagging. Technorati's experiment with tagging for blog postings obviously has a very long way to go, but it's moving in the right direction.

Will the whole thing get debased by commercialism and swamped by spam? Sure. Then we'll return to the drawing board.

Spinning Spraypainting Scrambler

Spinning Spraypainting Scrambler 09/09/2004 09:02 AM

Rosemarie Fiore re-uses amusement park rides to create works of art. She’s turned The Scrambler into the world’s largest spirograph, and uses pinball machines as a painbrush.

Fiore’s selection of the Scrambler to make a painting, then, is by no means arbitrary. It represents the link between the old world’s rush of simply being in motion (which itself recalls the primitive Russian ice slides of the 1700s) and the new turbo-charged world of the Raptor, where riders are strapped in with powerful foam restraining devices as their legs dangle freely at 60 mph over the bunnyhops, and then slowly revolve as they plunge into a horseshoe turn. Unless you’re being recruited by NASA, chances are you’ll never experience anything like it. Though it hovers between these two worlds, the Scrambler’s staying power is most evident in its subtle product upgrades and name changes-modifications, I hasten to add, that never stray too far from the original.

Let me runs that quote through my Art Critic to English dictionary for you.

Hey, she rigged that Scrambler to fling paint everywhere! Awesome!

Earth is spinning faster as a result of
quake 12/29/2004 02:36 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: The massive undersea earthquake that caused the tsunami gave a boost to our planet's spin. As a result, days will be a fraction of a second shorter from now on.

Richard Gross, a geophysicist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, theorized that a shift of mass toward the Earth's center during the quake on Sunday caused the planet to spin 3 microseconds, or 3 millionths of a second, faster and to tilt about an inch on its axis.

Republicans send New York Times spinning

Republicans send New York Times spinning 09/03/2004 12:19 PM
Sometimes the best way to put today’s political press coverage in perspective is to contrast it with how identical events were covered in the very near past. Take the New York Times’ coverage of the Republican and Democratic conventions. The morning after the Democratic convention concluded, the Times published two, page-one stories; a straight a news piece about Sen. John Kerry’s address, and a separate analysis of the themes of the speech. Today, following the Republican convention, the Times does the same; a news piece on president Bush address, as well as an analysis. But for the Republicans, there’s a bonus dispatch, a valentine-of-a-report (“Buoyed G.O.P. Says It Has Framed Agenda for Fall”) on how “confident” and “optimistic” Republican strategists were celebrating their convention, convinced they had “framed the debate for the fall” and “had succeeded in raising significant doubts” about their opponent.
