On Being Tagged

erm... I think I have been spending too much time in geekland :P On further analysis (!!) I figured that when sayan tagged me, he was simply thinking of the game of Tag! :P

But was interesting to find out about tagging :D

Being Tagged

Well, this is the first time I've been tagged (by sayan), and am blindly following the helpful instructions on his page :P He linked me to the following quiz:

Your Inner European is Spanish!

Energetic and lively. You bring the party with you!

Who's Your Inner European?
For those who are as blank on tagging as I am, here's a helpful 3-part article - an excerpt from part 1:

Tagging, at its core, is a super-simple keyword filing system.

... there is nothing that says what tags (keywords) are “available.” There are no pre-assigned categories or hierarchies like you find in Yahoo, for example. You assign the tags (keywords) simply by what makes sense to you – and so does everyone else. Just like you do when (if) you categorize your very own bookmarks in folders in your web browser. What’s different here is you can access documents based both on how you (with your personal tags) “filed” it, as well as how everyone else tagged (“filed”/described/categorized) that same document.

...

In Flickr the documents are photos; in del.icio.us the documents are bookmarked web pages and in Technorati the tags are tied to blog posts.

...

What results from tagging is a shared categorization system that reflects how individuals describe documents, rather than a highly structured location system, like the Dewey decimal system, for example. It defies “standardization,” doing something that a standardized filing system (or search engine) can’t. It creates an evocative “view” of a document; one based on how it fits into people’s own lives, work or consciousness.

While still a bit confused at having a quiz tagged to me, I am guessing that all it means is that searching for my nick will result in his page being found - it also means that I've lost a little of my anonimity... although that had of course already been taken care of by BD :|

Anyways, now that everyone here has a sense of what tagging means, here goes me tagging my friends Rajesh, Pramod, Aman and Aaishah :)

My Favourite Part of the Day

Peaceful and quiet, it's my time - no distractions or interruptions - just me, in a pleasant state of relaxed sleepiness, but alert nonetheless, at my most efficient... listening to my favourite songs on a loop on my headphones... sometimes chatting with friends... yes, nighttime is definitely my favourite part of the "day".
