Chris definitely gave a pretty good Webcast, demystifying social search for many. It's awesome to see all this coverage on Social Search. The slides are probably somewhere on SearchMarketingNow. Search has changed. Social Search has reached an inflexion point.

The wisdom of crowds - so well articulated by James Surowiecki - is at the root of emerging information retrieval tools such as collaborative content harvesting, directory building, voting and ranking. Search users submit, share, comment and tag content from bookmarks to Web pages, news, images, videos and podcasts. The Web is getting a whole lot more fluid and transparent.

Awesome article. The "trust network" idea is exactly what Searchles is working on. At Searchles you connect to people you trust so that you can search their content, and also the people they connect to.

@Bill

do you mean they read something and didn't like the advertisement so they "tore ad"

proof that tags are lame without word separation!

Another aspect of tagging that recent studies have discussed is that the tags used sometimes describe the relationship between what is being tagged, and the person doing the tagging, such as "toread."
