informal learning shared interest
The fact that so many of us are writing — sharing our ideas, good and bad, for the world to see — has changed the way we think. Just as we now live in public, so do we think in public.

“THE TAG IS...
...THE SOUL OF THE INTERNET”
“Tagging hence by making any information available on demand is the core, the soul of the Internet. Tags allow to connect analog to digital media, and to interconnect everything with everything else end-to-end on demand. We are today in the midst of what I have called the era of the tag.”
Derrick de Kerckhove, The Augmented Mind
