Joined the usual suspects down at Varnish Fine Arts tonite for Tag Tuesday, a really fabulous gathering leading up to Tag Camp (I'll be there...will you?). The presenters were very informative.

I especially dug Scott's behavioural analysis paper presentation. It would be great to see an analysis of behaviour on Flickr alongside the del.icio.us data. I believe there is a much wider span of technical expertise there. Either way, you can download the paper on tags he presented on here.

The presentation on the Technorati Blog Finder covered the rel="tag" and rel="directory tag" microformats, which are just part of the larger set covered at Webzine 2005 by Ryan King, but it's still as exciting the second time around.

I love these gatherings for the discussions that go on afterwards. I met the brilliant Kaliya of IdentityWoman.net, who just happens to be a fellow Canuck! We both agreed that nude hottubbing with others in the industry could be a step backwards for women in technology. ;) Massage, though, that would fit nicely in between sessions.

I meant to chat with the Technorati crew about their statement on allowing others to tag your blog. They didn't really express an upside, but here I sit, looking at the Webzine 2005 photos I uploaded to Flickr and many have been tagged FOR me! Brilliant!

I dunno, I think I'd like to know how people classify my blog and individual posts and it may be valuable as a development tool for the future of it. Or maybe I'm blabbing on about something and it's already a meme out there. That would help out, too. It would connect me to others on that thread. Of course, to protect ourselves from Technorati bombing, we would be able to remove tags that aren't relevant...

Just a thought.
