Interesting, somebody is thinking again about tags vs. categories.

Here's some old thinking.

Everybody can now join facebook, having been involved with social networking applications recently I was quite curious and immediately joined and... to me it doesn't make sense.

Joining a school or a work network makes sense because you are getting involved on-line in a community you already belong to. To open Facebook to everybody, instead of creating a big network with "the others", Facebook choose to create regional networks. Since every user can belong to only one regional network I joined the Italy network.

Too bad that this is not my network, actually most of the people I would like to network with are not in Italy.

Suddenly the capability of PeopleAggregator to create your own network makes much more sense.
