New Assumptions for Designing for the Social Web
I’ve spent the morning playing with Taglets - which is very cool and has the potential to be quite revolutionary as it’s offering up an open platform and API for developers. It seems like reverse Twitter in some ways - I create or follow tags that are really keywords of interest to me, and [...]
