That’s def. an issue. A user should own his topics and should not rely on a third party. She should be able to migrate her topics from server to server from application to application. It’s metadata after all. Should be personal.
Why Tags matter: “David Weinberger has an excellent post on ‘Why Tags matter‘. At the end he puts in the Technorati Tags on the subject (taxonomy tags berkman )I wonder if Dave cares that those tags are controlled and rendered by a proprietary company. Not that Technorati is THAT proprietary – but calling something a ‘Technorati Tag’ sure sounds pretty branded to me.
I can’t help think that some sort of OpenTopics is needed. I don’t think anybody should control the Topics of the blogosphere and Web 2.0.
I wonder if Dave agrees with me or not?”
