open tags vs closed tags
Good stuff from Stowe Boyd. Open tags vs closed tags.
Jeff Jarvis has a new blog design. Much better. When people new to blogging ask me who to read, I always suggest Jeff. Always. Very little happens worth noting in the blogosphere without Jeff spotting it sooner than most.

Ain’t it the truth?

Ryan – That’s only one half of the open tag model. The other half is that services like Technorati should use trackback to create the hard URL at my blog posts pointing to their own tagspace. I shouldn’t have to do it. I agree that I can use “http://www.corante.com/getreal/tags/thai” plus rel=”tag” and they will get the tags, but then there is no link at my blog to the technorati tagspace (and potentially dozens of others) out there.
Hugh. I wish more people were willing to fact check *before* jumping in on the dog pile.
Tags, as used by Technorati and others are already completely open. Still in doubt, or merely confused? Please read Kevin Mark’s recent post:
