Larry King has never used the Internet, doesn’t want to

By on

Larry King admits he's never used the Internet, and doesn't want to. "The wife loves it. I wouldn’t love it. What do you punch little buttons and things?"

I think it's great for people in the computer field to understand there are those who don't use computers and don't want to.

He may be missing out, though. He asks, "The Internet as a political medium viable?" Well I think probably yes.

Multiple uses for tags ..

By on

Shilad Sen of GroupLens published a paper exploring, among other things, the different uses of tags. We came up with three broad categories: factual, subjective, personal, which were used in a variety of ways: self-expression, organization, and so on.

A Reddit entry shows the Amazon community abusing Kevin Federline with tags.
