Billy Warhol, Flickr and Folksonomy
by tarky7 on Mon 09 Jan 2006 11:39 AM EST

There are a whole lot of people out there who are studying the theoretical direction of this new web thing. I think the two monikers that I see a lot of are the terms Web 2.0 and Folksonomy. Ellyssa Kroski has a brilliant assessment of this in her blog Infotangle. Many have written and blogged about this but I think she is really on point. She talks about the emerging trend using social software and ‘tags’ to get found in the ether. “One in which the user has the power to effect their own online experience, and contribute to others”, This brings about a disconnect to the people who are trying to use this form of spontaneous ’social engineering’ to their own ends in the online marketing space. They can imagine it, speculate and theorize but the fact of the matter is that the power of understanding lie with the people who are active members of these vibrant, rapidly growing online communities. I am a member of Flickr and del.icio.us, Facebook and a ton of other ’social networking’ sites.

There is a photographer and personality that has come to my attention recently that has been deeply immersed in the Flickr space so much so that I think he is an emerging star of this social networking phenomenon. His name is Billy Warhol and he encompasses that glittering fabulousness of the type of celebrity you might see at Monaco, Cannes or Paris during the height of the social season. You can see it in his extensive lists of contacts and groups on his Flickr profile. The man radiates Glam ! on the online sphere of the Flickr space. The challenge arises out of taking success from the online community sphere and translating it into a ‘brick and mortar’ reality. Billy is a visionary in this ‘New Web Order’ and I have followed many of his leads, and those leads have led to unexpected success, happiness and fulfillment !

    Of course we are STILL a couple, sweetheart, how could we not be? I am drawn to you like a pap to Britney, and dare I say becoming slightly obsessed. You are a social media darling and I have much to learn. Allow me to bask in your sunlight and I will be ever so grateful. Real life responsibilities call, and therefore, I cannot be in touch as much as I would like. But you are my A-team, don’t ever forget that. Ciao!
