Netscape Update (the internal memo) – The Jason Calacanis Weblog
I forgot to pat myself on the back. Some time ago I predicted The Emergence of Professional Tag-Gardeners. Step forward Jason Calacanis for truly making it so.

but is tag gardening the same as submitting stories ??
I always looked the tag garden as being a space which was created collectively by crowd sourcing. However, with JC method, the “original tags” on an entry is just getting aggregated.. not gardened. So where is the the harvest in terms of quality tags and content ??

Great pushback mr dawson – but i tend to think that digging is about more than headlines-the act of digging is v similar to the act of tagging – and here, note people are paid for doing so. thus professional tag gardeners. the harvest comes from the people that take the buds off vines that won’t grow, and water those that do? maybe these aren’t the head gardener, but they are gardeners all the same. make sense?

that is good to see…I would rather not make attorneys rich but as an industry we continue to mostly be in denial there is a broader quality/security issue that needs tackling. The endless stream of big fixes, spyware which causes their own security issues. We invest heaviy in DRM, IP protection etc but are not as sensitive to customer IP(like only giving out 30 day warranties), privacy etc.
