Kevin Marks on decentralized approaches to Tagson Omy. He notes that to get picked up by Techno Rati you don't have to link to their tag URI. I wonder whether a simple tweak to my Wiki Engine would end up automatically feeding Techno Rati based on my Wiki Word As Tag mentality?

Aug8'2005 update - I just turned on rendering of rel="tag" for every Wiki Word rendered on this WikiLog. Will have to check Techno Rati later on to see whether anything shows up. Update - didn't seem to matter. Suspect my mis-rendered RSS feed is to blame, assuming that's what Techno Rati scrapes. So will have to return to the process of fixing that feed...

Oct'2005: just found CommunityWiki:LocalLink - if my original plan amounts to almost spamming tag systems, then maybe only do it for a Wiki Word over a certain length (in total letters, or maybe in just cap letters).

Jun'2006: Stowe Boyd points to David Weinberger's concerns on this. Following the local-Name Space model seems most sensible.
