I agree with Tris’ post about tag-fluence. He and I were talking about this yesterday, as we realized thatthe tags you will chosse to accompany the content in your posts can help you target where and what in terms of conversations that will happen in the blogosphere, or wherever tags will be used to somehow cluster content.
My email to Tris:
“… Yeah, it puts s new dimension to what you can do in a linked world, and there fore it means you need to be clearer, or accept the consequences of putiing out stuff that you’re not concerned about in terms of its impact.
Hmmm … let’s think it out first …because it’s really introducing a dynamic balance between push and pull of items, into the blogosphere.”
Being able to tag and work with the aggregation of tagged incoming content …. will enable or create push-and-pull capability in the practice of blogging.
We’ve moved from push, from centralized media, to pull, via aggregation and feed architecture, to this new field where we will be able to watch the confluence of feeds and disciplined strategic tagging.
Mmmm … push AND pull …
The author of The Ingenuity Gap weighs in on what he thinks is a clever notion but a loosely-thought-out walk through some interesting yet under-examined connections about how we experience and use cognition.

Principle # 5
Conversations are where information is shared, knowledge is created and are the basis for getting the right things done
. Human beings have been having conversations since time began. That’s how we’ve figured out all of the things we’ve invented and how we govern ourselves. It’s how we’ve gotten to how we are now.
In the Industrial Age, reporting relationships, and the assumption that the dog on the top of the heap knew more than all the other dogs, were the formalized structure for conversation . It doesn’t work very well this way, anymore.
The only way to deal with ongoing change is to create and sustain effective conversations – with your customers, with and amongst employees and with everyone else.
Sharing information, and creating new knowledge, in order to respond to ongoing change, is the only way that will work from here on out.
The structure, tools and culture of organizations will have to honor this fact.
There’s no other way it’s going to work.
