I follow the snark of Supr.c.ilio.us as a funny antidote to some of the froth around GSD (even though I think most critics miss the actual value, it’s still fun reading them take the piss out of the thing).
Don Marti had a pretty good post explaining that value. Leave it to Supr.c.ilio.us to find the negative in the exact same topic. It includes this hilarious and entirely true bit:
It was genius to call it tagging, it would have been a harder sell if Joshua Schachter came up with Unpaid Database Entry.
“find a negative?” I’m a pants’ load sunshine, I’ll have you know. I would never deny the value the ‘community’ gets from Tagging, but still it’s funny to think how we are so easily convinced into doing the work for free.
Thanks for pointing this out, I needed a good laugh. Now I’m gonna go work on my Web 3.7.0.4 beta website.
