describe social objects are free

so what if

instead of a feed reader, the blog-tagged tiddler (tiddler tagged ‘blog’) sent itself to the feed.

does that compute?

ok. what happens now is, i write here, and it is posted, meaning has then become text on a page (and not a straight-up html page, a different sort of entity, which might as well be called, for all future purposes, the tiddler) .

what could happen, theoretically, is that i open tag:Blog, then open a newHere and write furiously, with, as always, great import and impeccable intention. my blog entry is now a tiddler, tagged Blog, and what happens. done? save? i think not.

better ‘published’, ’set alight’, ‘freed’, ‘incendiando’

and my blog entry, which is a tiddler, which is somehow intuitively self-tagging, perhaps, is sent off out into the wide blue yonder, for the observance of any other entities for eternity.

but where does it go?

currently, there is no actual current of blogs, there is hosted pages that do not always qualify as standard html pages. not that they need to. as html is a protocol, the tag is its own protocol. the unknown paramifications of the kaleidoscope functionality of a tag has barely been skitched across its skitcherly surface, as we can witness in the tagglytoggles of simonBaird.

what if tags could migrate on their own, to a general feed.

the tag would have a format that fit the feed format. they call each other. instant feed. for Blog, subBlog, uberBlog, superUberBlogarino

the tag

paper beats rock

paper - man’s first portable representational system (two-dimensions).

computer - man’s first three-dimensionPLUStime representational system(three-dimensions).

loose paper (docs) fit in folders.  hence windows, for virtual viewing inside a folder.

windows hence browser windows.

tiddlywiki goes in the browser (window).

tags go on the tiddlers.

tiddlers are small amounts of information.

tags tag small amounts of information.

tiddlywiki, with wikiWords, are self-tagging.

tags are referenced.

who references tags?

tag along if you like

well, back to TheTaskAtHand,
taggles and toggles.

i had hoped never to get to this point,
the implications are staggering,
much like walking down the warm rails of the track
in the sweet swelt of summer
with an elephant beside you..
