Good stuff…

I tag as a secondary act after posting.

I rarely pursue the tag after that,

But I do allow it in addition to bookmarking and burning feeds.

I want permanent contact, not a fleeting moment.

I am not a whore! I’m a blogger.

I have this blog I need to host, so the tags are more doable- but in the meantime, I have a post over at Parent’s Eye View about how we are all internet electricians, responsbile for hooking up the wires, making the connections, and letting people pull the switches to the stuff they find interesting.
Without the links, tags and the like, the wires don;t connect and the bigger lightbulbs caused by great ideas never get ignited.

I’m buying it.

Dale — the point (as I choose to understand it, anyway!) is that the tags are pointers to everything that is being said about you or about whatever topic you are supporting on your site. Of course the tags _themselves_ are not the website, it’s everything that is tagged. “Things That are Tagged Are Your New Website” just doesn’t look as good on a t-shirt.

For once I disagree with you, Chris!

“Tags are your website?” No. That’s like saying a card catalog is a book. It’s not. It’s a means to an end, but not the end.

Tools are tools, but content is still king. Check out Zeldman’s latest post for evidence. http://www.zeldman.com/2007/03/15/web-1-point-0-is-the-new-web-2-point-0/
