If Web 2.0 Applied to Real Life

I faved this when I was just getting into folksonomies and the wisdom of crowds, Web 2.0 craziness, and people were going completely nutso with the tags. *Every* web app had them, including us, whether or not they made any sense.

Yeah, that got old kinda quick.

I don’t love this photo that much anymore, but I’ll keep it in my faves just as a reminder of how crazy I was about folksonomies. I still believe in the idea behind this whole semantic web thing, but know it’s gonna be awhile longer before stuff like this will actually be of any use to anyone. And in the meantime, we’ll just poke fun at it. I mean, it is kinda funny, in a smiley-face way, if not wholly in a ha-ha way.
