As soon as I posted on Tagging, within minutes actually, Matthew of Business Logs told me about Flickr’s interestingness. (I blame my lack of being in the scene on writing a book, which I’m also sure caused our site to crash repeatedly). Anil posted on all things interesting earlier this week, and I remembered that Amazon.com has been doing that for years, in the form of related items, what’s popular, and suggestions. However, I don’t trust what Amazon shows me because it seems random, weighted to what they’re pushing, like Segways and Heart Defibrillators, and Eric Meyer still loves me.
As Anil discusses, gaming and spamming is eventually going to enter a taxonomy, be it tags, popularity, or whatever it is that Technorati does.
More importantly, and at the heart of the Google Print debate, is a company making money of your content and not paying you. 37 Signals is discussing that topic and so is Blogebrity.
Much of what we talk about here, is business blogging, making money with blogs. We haven’t yet had a lecture on, “how to make money from someone else’s blog.”
That’s a Web 2.0 lecture, “Being a Content Pimp.”
