Perhaps it’s time for a crude taxonomy for social networks to help sort out the types of messages flowing back and forth? Imagine if all your tweets, facebook messages, and friendfeed streams came pre-tagged with the following tags or categories?
* look at me, I’m doing something cool
* check this out, it’s funny
* books, movies, music, food, or sports
* this is touching and will change your life
* gadgets and meta, technology post about using technology
* weather and the natural world
* babies and kittens
* my obscure hobby
* breaking news, OMG!
* make money now!
I can’t decide if I like this idea or hate it. Probably the latter.
