Jan 2006 searchsig at Yahoo!

searchsig at Yahoo! campus in Sunnyvale was pretty interesting and informative. Folks from del.icio.us, Digg, Kaboodle and Wink discussed the role of tagging in your life and future directions that tagging is headed in.

Some memorable quotes:

  • “Get a colo with a real UPS” – Joshua Schachter from del.icio.us on advice for scaling up.
  • “140,000 registered Digg users with 5-6 mln pageviewes delivered a day” – Kevin Rose on Digg current numbers.
  • “It is obvious at this point” – Joshua Schachter from del.icio.us grilled on the ways to grow tagging into a business model.
  • “Google generation removes us from natural language. The way people communicate now is restaurants good San Francisco” – someone from the audience.
