Web 2.0

Web 2.0 survives and thrives on social collaboration. Take for example, Facebook, it wouldn't exist without the millions of users sharing photos, links, and stories with each other. In order for these websites to grow they need sharing. Sharing recruits new users. Existing users act as brand ambassadors getting their friends and family to join. The keystone of flickr is photographers using the site as a landing place for their photography and to connect with other photographers. Photographers who create groups and forums to discuss photography. Web is founded on the sharing principle.

Taxonomy vs. Folksonomy

Taxonomy and the newer Folksonomy are two very different methods of classification yet similar as well.

Taxonomy is the more traditional method focusing on more strict and formal guidelines. At its fundamentals, it follows a hierarchal structure. Vertical, up or down. This method is effective because of its exact science and specificity there is no confusion. Folksonomy allows sideways definition and labeling. This allows multiple people to categorize one thing in different ways. Although, this allows for more creative archiving, it can get confusing with so many labels to one concept.

So

I AM ONLY WRITING THIS BECAUSE PRIYA, MY GIRLFRIEND, WANTS ME TO. SO BASICALLY HERE'S ANOTHER THOUGHT THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT...

WHITE PEOPLE..

ilove how white people think every culture that isn't white is awesome. like how they always dream of meditating with the monks in the mountains of China. That shit sucks. The air sucks, the government sucks, the monks get lit on fire and shit, its terrible. But hey whatever floats your un-cultured boat.

ALSO

How my white friends think its really funny to make fun of me for being asian. Like my friend derek barbas wil always go "is your dick is so small because your asian" and i say

"derek, why do you like talking about my dick all the time? is it just part of being a whitey? or just being a ginger..."

also next time he says that I will say

"is your arm sore from beating your slaves?"

jut kidding..sort of
