If Web 2.0 Applied to Real Life

This is a photo demonstrating what life would be like, were "Web 2.0" to infiltrate the real world. Here I try to humorously highlight the use of tags - one of the features made possible by Web 2.0.

I'm not against the development of applications and services on the internet (I use Flickr). I just think some people get out of hand with it.

Made interestingness Dec 23, 2005.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Great! Even more funny as you didn't add the actual "flickr tags".

But needs a new name. jared-dot-com is unavailable, I suggest jarygg, a brand new glaring tag based social coffee-drinking.

Very funny, although I'm not sure tagging is all there is to Web2.0

Hi.

This is funny in a moronic, superficial way. Like it's funny because "lol if we had real tags they'd be sticky notes all over the place on obvious things, lol". It's like bum-fight-video-on-youtube funny. Stupid people funny. And either you don't "get it", or you're being intellectually dishonest -- selling out for a few cheap lols, trackbacks and maybe a BoingBoing. Lame. Tagging is part of a fascinating overall phenomenon. It's the emergence of meaning in lots and lots of stuff. It's something that can only happen on the Internet, almost passively, and with limitless scalability -- a hallmark of "collective consciousness". A first in the history of the world.

You suck. Thanks.

@sjon - I do, I'm married to her.

@-i_wish_you_could_talk - Originally I actually had the GFY Blog in mind when I photographed this. I quite enjoyed their writing style for a while, until they brought on three other writers and it went downhill from there. So I snapped it and sent it off to them, and they posted it on their blog.

But, you've stated the obvious - people post things in hopes for hits. This is not a new development, even with the advent of the miraculous web 7.3.

Glad you have an opinion, though - there's too many in the world who don't. In the meantime, you may want to work on not taking life that seriously.
