Yay tags

Just tagified my site (does that make me web 2.0?). Incidentally, I just discovered that MySQL's API returns all result data as strings. So, even if your field is a number (say, your primary key), you get a string back. Weird.

Update: Incidentally, tag renaming is a pretty hard problem. You have to watch for recursive renames... and what happens if there's already a tag for the tag name you're trying to rename a tag to? You'll have to run through every associated tag table and update all the old ids to the new one, but it's not like there's only ever one association table (i.e. if I tag my weblog entries, and I make a tagged bookmark system, and have my wiki pages tagged, I'll have three different associated tables), so the tag library can't know what it has to update unless you tell it about all those tables. So, it's messy.

  1. O'Reilly Radar > Web Development 2.0 (via Paul Hammond):

    The interesting thing to me is that so many startups and companies seem to be developing a new set of software development practices independently, and only after the fact sharing them with each other. Software isn't written for Web 2.0 companies the way it was during the bubble, nor is it written the way traditional, shipped software was. New ideas about Web applications seem to necessitate new ways of making those applications. Below is my current catalog of observations...

    Update: All of the notes from the "future of web apps" summit that Simon collects are appropriate to link to here. To read. Via Chris Langreiter.
