Why We Tag
nptech, a tag community
• “nptech”
• Created by a group of blogger exploring linksharing through Del.icio.us
• “I think that the development of this tag is arguably the single largest reason for the current (thriving I think) state of what is commonly called the “nptech community.” - Chris Blow
Social Tagging
• Social Hum
• Object-centered sociality
• Lowered barriers to participation
