In 2005, China's heavy truck industry had a negative growth due to impact of macro-economic control and skyrocketing oil prices, making the industry fall down to the bottom of industry cycle.

Sorry for the extremely delayed reply, Things were a whirlwind for me during the this year-transition. I ended up winning a local Radio Jockey hunt and joined the Radio station as a Trainee. At the same time I switched jobs and now I am working as Tech Writer for a company called Pure IT Usability Research. Somewhere around the same time, I acquired my own domain, 42 Quirks (http://42quirks.com) and keep posting to it pretty frequently. So things have been moving pretty fast for me, and I have barely had the time to catch my breath. What's Blogoforum up to these days? What are you up to these days? Regards, Shri. - 1 reply

RE: Tags are what you think they are

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 13:42:09 GMT

Thanks, I realize and really like that. Somewhere I blinked and the web grew up. I recently had the good fortune to listen to Stephen Abram, VP of Innovation at SirsiDynix, http://stephenslighthouse.sirsi.com/ speak about the Web 2.0, blogforums, wikis, content provision, folksonomies, media streaming, podcasting...Gave the audience many things to think about, but what completely blew me away was his mention that physisicts have pushed light in reverse throughout their experiments. Backward moving light travels faster than the speed of light. - 1 reply

Tags are what you think they are

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 10:44:11 GMT

Hi LKenyon, and thanks for the post! Tags are pretty free to use, it is you and other people together who give meanings to posts using tags. Or something like that. If you work at a library than you will likely find interesting classification features of this site. - 1 reply

How does one write a web-application?

Fri, 17 Nov 2006 10:56:51 GMT

How does one write a web-application? I mention hard-work. Hard work, long hours; insane kind of 3am all-nighters for weeks, months at a time. http://newspiritcompany.blogspot.com/2006/11/how-does-one-write-popular-web_5275.html I wrote a little blog about it. Also stay tuned for botlist. - 1 reply

Digg Tagging?

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 16:17:35 GMT

The Mu Life author asked me to comment on his "The Role of Tags in Social Bookmarking" article. In the article, Muhammad talks about Digg requiring users to put stories into predefined categories, and suggests that tag-based categorization would work better. What can I say? As a big fan of tagging*, I completely agree! Here are few examples for you to though about. Let's suppose I have an article about say the design of new Mac OS. Or the article is about next-generation iPod design. What's the correct place of a story of such kind? There are at least three candidate categories, all are under "Technology": "Apple", "Design", and "Industry News", also probably "Software" for new OS story, and "Hardware" for a new gadget. I feel a bit lost. Why I am required to chose one category when my story is ok for three? Am I supposed to start a research on what the correct category is? When I'll make my choice, how about users who browse other categories and may miss my story? That's what the tagging is for. To get around these, let the user to tag the story as "apple", "technology", "design", "news", "software" or whatever. Give the user freedom to decide what categories to have and what information structure should be. I always missed tagging in Digg. Browsing its categories I saw stories on wide areas of subjects. While being interested in some particular topic (say "tagging") I didn't knew what category to look in. Should I browse all Industry News, Programming, and Software? del.icio.us, from the other side, has become my first starting point for a research on a particular topic. If I'm looking for must-have Firefox plugins I go to http://del.icio.us/popular/firefox , looking for startup partners advices I go to http://del.icio.us/popular/equity , and looking for digg-enabling a web site I go to - yes, http://del.icio.us/popular/digg . A few words to people who point on some limitations of tag-based categorization systems. Here on Blogoforum, I experiment with tags a lot. And hey, the system is a rich field for experiments. You can do a lot of tricks with tags. It was believed tag-based navigation is flat - I managed to introduce hierarchical tag browsing. Even more - using tags, the system can create a hierarchical categories-like information tree (see Forum Groups are in development for initial steps in this direction). Tag-based classification is very promising and an area open for innovations. * As you can see, I'm so big fan of tagging that I've developed a whole new tag-based website (called Blogoforum).

Reddit Was Acquired

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:33:40 GMT

Did you heard? Reddit was acquired. Congratulations guys, good job. First rumored number ($65M) is more than del.icio.us was bought for. [Update] Liz Gannes on GigaOM tells that guys from Reddig have worked with acquirer company before on very reddit-similar site. I wonder which terms they are agreed to, and wasn't they afraid of things like competition and disclosing the technology.

Tagging Survey

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 15:57:38 GMT

I found an interesting tagging survey (thanks Tagsonomy). What's important there? Number of participants was as low as 24. But still. Most people aren't big fans of tagcloud. Hmm...
