Hi all,

I just heard about this and have put it on the GSLIS Community Events calendar at http://my.simmons.edu/gslis/resources/calendars/events.shtml but since it’s tomorrow night, I thought I’d also send it out over GSLIS-Info.

Hello,

On Tuesday, October 25, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School hosts Joshua Schachter of Del.icio.us, a Web site known for its use of tagging to share Internet resources. Tagging is like metadata by the people and for the people.

From 6 pm until 7:30 pm, he’ll be speaking about the future of tagging at the Web of Ideas series coordinated by David Weinberger.

“Joshua Schachter didn’t invent tagging, but his site, Del.icio.us (http://www.del.icio.us), sure kicked off the current interest in it. At Del.icio.us, tagging is a social activity: People can see how others have tagged Web resources, can subscribe to streams of tagged pages, and can either go along with or buck the way others are thinking about what they find on the Web. In the next in his ‘Web of Ideas’ series, Berkman Fellow David Weinberger will talk with Joshua about how tagging is likely to develop and what that might mean for how we put ourselves together on the Web.”

Web of Ideas is a great series of informal talks with pizza and assorted speakers on topics related to the Internet.

The Berkman Center is located between Harvard and Porter Squares at 1587 Massachusetts Avenue. Web of Ideas will be in the conference room on the first floor.

Cordially,

Jessica Baumgart
