Tagwebs, Flickr, and the Human Brain

Tagwebs, Flickr, and the Human Brain (by Jakob Lodwick) What if we could tag not just photos, but also other tags? We could start to build a tagweb. When a tagweb is created from your tags, that tagweb works perfectly within the realm of what makes sense to you. The reason nobody came up with this before Flickr was because we didn't have Flickr as a visible reference point. You can't just imagine something out of the blue without first thinking about related things.

The Bush Privatization Tax

Via The Decembrist: Senate Democrats Shine a Bright Light on Bush "Privatization Tax": With the new "privatization tax," the Republicans are going to give with one hand and take away with the other. Their plan will allow individuals to take money from the Social Security Trust Fund and put it into private accounts. But to recoup this money and lost interest for the Trust Fund, the Republicans will issue the new privatization tax, which will eliminate benefits by up to 70 percent or more.
