Description
Our experience of the internet is accelerating at a rapid pace. The "stream" of emails, web hits, ad impressions, multi-media narratives and range of devices is a challenge for most of us to manage. In the next decade, it will be essential to filter this stream and channel areas of interest. This can be easily done through "tagging" internet content with key words. Tag It! takes on the "how" tagging pictures, video, listings, blog posts, group book marks, twitter and facebook updates creates a community brain trust larger than we ever imagined.
Part of the continuing series of Media Maven Lunches.
