Richard S writes “More on Social tags” pointing to “taggregator” an experiment with allows you to provide one “tag” and it generates a side by side view of del.icoi.us and flickr results:

Yup, flickr is the land of maybe more than the land of 10,000 memes, maybe it is the long tail for photographic odd-topics.

Now where is my flashlight? I cannot read that that mysql manual….

I got a cryptic e-mail message recently, that barely made a ripple among the daily spam flood:
How come you pop up on my computre without invitation. Get lost you MF
As you can see there is not much we need to do to educate written communications skills these days… So being curious about the accusation I [...]

Thanks to a tip from Alex I tuned into the now released version of 43 Things, which is addictive, intensive connected, and tagged inside out. I had peeked at the beta a few weeks back, but the released version is wild, social, and amazing. It is tags, tags, and tags on speed.
