POPSA Culture of Capture? Came across this passage; it jumped out at me. I do think that we are moving towards the "need to share" organizational mindset. Amplify certainly seems positioned to take advantage of this need and the cultural shift noted.

POPSFolksonomy/Taxonomy
Clay Shirky highlights a difference between a tagging approach and a metadata approach. Metadata on Amazon is contributed by publishers and Amazon themselves - and it seems that it is rather inconsistent, with some editions of books falling into the 'Gay', 'Erotica' types of classification whilst other editions of the same book don't. Customers can tag products with words of thei own choosing. Amazon appears to have decided to remove some classifications, based on the metadata, from their sales ranking mechanism. An email they sent to Mark Probst suggested that this was a policy decision to protect their customer base. Classifications which have been affected include feminist literature, classics, LGBT literature and books on sex and disability. Amazon have apparently subsequently said that this is due to a glitch - a story people on Twitter are not believing. So, Amazon has a problem - de-ranking products based on their classification system is causing annoyance (to put it

Meaning is the ideal mental form of the crystallization of mankind's social experience and social practice, and therefore can only exist in a subjective reality born of consensual negotiation, albeit to facilitate communication about objective phenomena.

POPSClassic: poll names cheesiest marketing terms Blooks are "an exciting new stage in the life-cycle of content," according to a company that makes 'em. A poll finds that web users consider the term "blooks" obnoxious, however. Blooks can also be as lame as the blogs they come from. My personal least-favorite term from this list, however, is "folksonomy."

POPSTime choses YOU as person of the year 2006 woohoo !! (via Hans's clip ) -- that's what makes all this interesting. Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail. There's no road map for how an organism that's not a bacterium lives and works together on this planet in numbers in excess of 6 billion. But 2006 gave us some ideas. This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person. It's a chance for people to look at a computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who's out there looking back at them. Go on. Tell us you're not just a little bit curious.
