Bet you wish you thought of that, huh?

There have been many variations to draw inspiration from that model in the few months since it’s been up, and here’s the latest: 1000tags, which is combining the Web 2.0 notion of tags and folksonomies with that there filthy lucre to offer a way to buy your way into a paid tag cloud.

The flipside of their deal, is 1000tags is giving a certain number of bloggers who talk about them their own tag for free if they talk about the service. So here I am. Do I win a tag?

My family’s got a blog that’s probably not too interesting for non-family members, but it’s doing pretty well. And now it seems that pretty much everybody I know is doing this sort of thing. I’m rejoining the century!

Also, I am in Canada.

Another blog. Hi mostly I created this so I could make smarmy comments on Pat Rapa’s story-a-day blog. He’s rather thoughtful about the stories he reads, and probably will be reading stories and writing about them when I’ve moved on to new distractions like CB Radio2, which I just invented but probably really exists. I’ll Google and let you know some day, or you will.
