Can words define us? (February 28, 2008)I don’t like categorizing someone just with a few words, I find it so much disrespectful and unpersonnal.
I think it’s impossible to judge someone at the first glance, and even though you know people for years you are still surprised by their character and behaviour.
However, on the Internet, this is totally another story: people have integrated “tags” (aka small words) to categorize and describe anything and everything.
Well, while I was doing some research and staying updated on the latest technology & web 2.0 news, I found that Quintura (a new kind of search engine), which shows you offering a widget that showed the tags cloud related to any search you make.
So I played with it a bit and searched for my name: “borget sebastien“:
And in reverse order (funny thing, it gave slightly different results): “sebastien borget“:
This gives some interesting information on all tags associated with my activity on the web, and how people can find my website by googling (or using Quintura ^^)
However, to the question: “Am I only defined by these small words ?“, I reply that obviously not, this is not me, this is just the way you find me on the Internet ![]()
