JANUARY 7, 2007

The Cross Blog Discussion of the NpTechTag has generated some comments and blog posts that I've summarized below. However, in the comments, readers point to the benefits of a folksonomy and suggest that combining the two approaches can lead to a best-of-both-worlds outcome. Leave a comment. Sort of an emergent taxonomy.

It was Emily Weinberg's idea, as far as I can tell, to get folks who are blogging on non-profit topics to take a glance at each other's blogs and comment on them. This valuable resource is going into my bookmarks to stay! The blog exchange has its own Blogger website , by the way, in case you'd like to join or comment.

One of the most important take-aways from TransparencyCamp was the momentum and collaboration generated by the enthusiasm, generosity, and innovation of the individuals and groups coalescing around the idea that citizens have the right and the responsibility to know exactly what their government is doing and why.
