On high o'er


Del.icio.us.. questions..

How do you pronounce this? Are those stops glottal?
If you put a feedmark in a bookmark does your head explode?
Is it quicker to peruse everyone else's tagged comments on a bookmark, or just to examine the site itself yourself?
Can you comment on a comment?
How old are those PLCMC2 bookmarks! (not a question).

I've gathered all the images I've taken off the Commons and displayed them Deliciously. Efficient, however not sure if that really does as a proper Acknowledgement.

I even tagged a few, though only lazily. Perhaps for images bookmarks really need to have thumbnails, like Technorati. In fact, be thumbnails, in a tagcloud.

Which brings me to wondering if the whole relentlessly textual-linear-one-at-a-time manner of Delicious is not rather old-fashioned. Certainly the direction of the Interweb is towards more visual, spatial representations, cos we are all paralleloprogrammed. I may have mentioned this before.. Check out Aurora, Mozilla's future browser concept, putting the space in cyber.

Anyway, back on earth, managing cloudmarks.. Portability is always good. But to be useful for research they'd have to be in tightly focused in-depth groupings that couldn't be bettered by a simple Google search.
