Event tagging
Carolyn Minor, a librarian at the University of Winnipeg, has put out a call for help on event tagging. She’s noted the difficulties in setting up effective tagging for event blogs, which is something I struggled with myself in setting up the event blog for the 2005 Online Deliberation conference.

Tag blogging @ tagsonomy.com
As of today I'm moving some of my tag-related musings to You're It, a blog on tagging that includes such venerable folksonomists as Jon Lebkowsky, Clay Shirky and Dave Weinberger. Rob hopes that this new outlet means that I'll finally stop talking about tagging in...

e-Engagement Tools That Fit
Organizations have tremendous cultural variations that need to be considered when designing an e-engagement plan or selecting e-engagement tools. E-engagement will be most successful when it’s based on tools that fit with the way an organization approaches technology and with the way it approaches engagement.

10 tools that tap the power of blogs
Blogging has been a hot topic here at OD2005. While there’s a lot of interest in blogging as a tool of public conversation, there’s also a lot of skepticism about the quality of information and discourse on blogs.

How your Facebook presence can inspire your friends and family
Over at The Hookup Column, Anna Lind Thomas concludes her list of Dos & Don'ts for Facebook status lines with the following: DO inspire, uplift, support and spread love. Anna's suggestion is a refreshing departure from the all-too-common focus on social media as...
The suffering of technology users
I love this paragraph because I think it distills and represents the pain and suffering so many people now feel around the role of technology in their lives: I like technology just as much as the next person, but sometimes I find myself feeling overwhelmed with it...

Yesterday I wrapped up my 2010 Home Media Overhaul and Documentation Festival with a blog post on why to watch TV. But I left another unanswered question on the table: why document your TV setup? Documentation is somewhere between a neurosis and a calling for me. As...
