Loïc: We have just launched TypePad UK.

I wonder how long did it take for the localisation... :-)

David Weinberger: Authors tags and topics:

Does this mean that folksonomies will encourage the re-emergence of topics, bottom up? Are we going to be double-minded, applying one tag for the folksonomy so the resource can be found and others that reflect our own interests? ? (If we also start tagging for local folksonomies [~] our social networks [~] we may become multi-minded in our tagging.) Are topics dead or are we rebuilding them in our images?

It's interesting, in our work we have always considered topics with a bottom up approach.

Unlike current folksonomies, we are offering users the ability to share topics via "topicrolls", allowing them to create new ones or to pick topics from a list shared among members of a "cloud".
