The concept of referencing is ancient – and goes back at least to Akkadian times on cuneiform tablets. Between notions of body-as-text and and the emergence of social virtual worlds, like Second Life, it is perhaps not too surprising that Web2<\/a> provides a whole new dimension to social referencing – and social bookmarking<\/a>, whether through shared possessions via Amazon or LibraryThing<\/a> or through the varieties of online community that emerged in the last decade of the 20th century, through to YouTube<\/a> and Flikr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One aspect that characterises the new web is the increasing capacity to annotate or edit socially written texts – through wikis or collaborative projects, such as those referenced in Mark Marina’s ‘Marginalia in the library of babel<\/a>‘ project. Diigo software adds a further dimension to social bookmarking:<\/p>\n

If social bookmarking allows us to share our library catalogs, social annotation sites allow us to share our libraries complete with their underlinings, highlights, and marginalia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Marginalia\"<\/p>\n

Web2 has been with us for some time increasing possibilities for social transparency transforming notions of privacy and ownership into a new form of social space and cultural intimacy. This is beautifully illustrated by the short video Web 2.0 \u2026 The Machine is Us\/ing Us<\/a> by Michael Wesch<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Web2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Angela Thomas<\/a> for pointing to WRT<\/a> and for WRT pointing to Professor Wesch’s site – see what I mean?!!<\/p>\n

Enjoy
