Tagging is such a functional activity, and if you don't see direct benefit from doing it, the interest in it as a fun afternoon activity is pretty low.

Suzanne: The kind of socializing that Oldenburg describes as happening in third places is deeply exclusive. When everybody knows what your institution is for (collecting and interpreting the past of your region, for instance) then we have common ground on which to build social relationships.
