Falsche Spur

Der in seine Heimat abgeschobene junge Deutsche Mehmet versucht, die Jugenderlebnisse, die ihn um Jahrzehnte altern ließen, zu vergessen. Derzeit gerät er auf die falsche Spur zurück. Wegen des Urheberrechts siehe hier.

Bookmark, Classify and Share

A mini-ethnography of social practices in a distributed classification community.

Abstract:

Working within the constraints of a very limited data sample, this study attempts to identify some of the information management and meaning construction practices of an online distributed classification (a.k.a. free tagging or ethnoclassification) community. Specifically, this study seeks to investigate the social and communicative practices that emerge when users are encouraged to share web links with one another by using a metadata keyword, or tag, to demark a social group, apart from using other tags to classify links according to an emergent taxonomy.

not really an ethnography in our term, but interesting for those, that are interested in social classification. the author talks a bit about del.icio.us and flickr, that allow totally free tagging of links or images

btw, a happy new year to all of you celebrating this event.
