[Adactio: Jeremy Keith] After attending Tanteks birthday celebrations at La Sol Y La Luna restaurant, which is not located downtown, a bunch of us stood on the street and began hailing taxis to get back into the town centre. In an attempt to ascertain exactly where we needed to tell the cab driver to take us in order to reach the next party, I whipped out my iBook, hoping for a net connection.

[Adactio.com] Adactio: Think about it: if youve got some kind of application thats native to a web of data (as Tom so succinctly puts it), youve already got addressable objects (using the most basic RESTful interface of all: URLs). Now, if you can add geographical, temporal or semantic data to those resources (using geotagging, hCalendar, and tagging, respectively), you can increase the value of that data exponentially.

[Feedster.com] Feedster on: folksonomy: We may not agree with all the points but it makes us appreciate the weaknesses of classification schemes and some of the potential of user tagging.As it happens, I found this article by searching for taxonomy at Keotag, the new all-in-one meta search for locating tagged items, and selecting Blinklist as the target source. There is something to be said for this style of serach.]]> Taxonomy Watch
[Benbarren.blogspot.com] ben barren - rss'ing down under: March 2006: . "I was trying to slip the car into neutral but because the car was over-revving and red-lining I couldn't do it.. I told the AA I couldn't slow down. I thought they might be able to give me some advice but they told me to hang up straight away and phone the police. I dialled 999 and spoke to a woman and by this time I was starting to panic because the speed of the car had increased to 100mph." Police alerted a helicopter and four traffic cars set off to try to catch him as Mr Nicolle kept up a running commentary, all the time flashing his lights and sounding his horn to warn other motorists.. I couldn't turn off the ignition because it would have disabled the power steering and made it even more dangerous. I was even shouting at the other drivers to get out of the way, I was getting hysterical. The traffic was getting heavier and I had to take drastic measures..
