Social/Public Tagging For WordPress?
Hey, everybody. I’m trying to crowdsource a WordPress plugin/widget question for a non-ErosBlog project. Google, sadly, has failed me. (This often happens when I’m looking for something that may not even exist.)
Cast your mind back to 2005 or so, when “tags” and “tagging” (and the related term “folksonomy”) were a newish concept on the internets. Nowadays everything has tags, it seems like; but back then, it was new newness to everybody except librarians and search geeks. A bunch of tag plugins for bloggers came out, and then, a bit more slowly, WordPress and other platforms started integrating tags more directly.
Somewhere along in there, somebody said “Hey, wouldn’t it be nifty if we could let people tag our stuff for us?” And in the WordPress world, that meant a couple of plugins that let readers suggest tags for posts. Call this “public” or “social” tagging if you will. It was software designed to let WordPress users blog about a thing, and then let the readers/viewers help propose tags.
Of course, if you let random people tag your shit, some of them will tag it unhelpfully. Ha hah, she’s fat, let’s flag that picture with “pig” and “gross” and “oinker” and “needs to diet”. He reminds me of my ex, let’s flag this picture with “bastard” and “child molester”.
Any public tagging system is clearly going to need moderation of some sort … a way to present the proposed tags (either before or after they go live) to somebody who can review them for sanity and approve/disapprove with a click.
One plug-in that offered this was called WP_Folksonomy, but development on it stopped in 2009 and it doesn’t appear to work well with current versions of WordPress. There were others; I can’t find them now. The only new/current one I can find is WP Tag This!, but it appears not to offer moderation, plus it failed to “just work” when I installed it per the very limited available instructions.
Does anybody know of any more? Once again I’m looking for a WordPress plugin that would let the general public propose tags for posts, while allowing for some moderation of the proposed tags. If it’s out there, I’m sure one of clever people will know…

Learning From Porn
Once you can get past the timorous-sounding paragraphs of initial disclaimers designed to neutralize the barrage of inevitable carping from porn-negative folks, this list by Dr. Marty Klein is actually somewhat eye-opening by reason of its length. I’m not sure it should be surprising, though. I know I’m not the only one whose initial comprehension of sex would have been much the worse if all porn had been subtracted from the information available to me:

On The Construction Of Creepiness
As a guy who grew up with solid “nerdy loner” credentials, it’s no surprise that I often don’t comprehend some of the finer social nuances that swirl around me. I’m old enough to remember when being “cool” was of supreme importance to the young (if indeed it isn’t still), but I never could identify coolness in the wild — I was completely blind to whatever it was that made some people cool and others (including me) not. So too with “creepy” — my sisters and their friends had a whole taxonomy of creepiness and would discuss at length who’s a creep and who’s not a creep, but the criterion they were using was not public and it didn’t yield its mysteries to casual observational decryption. I never worried about it too much; I had enough social troubles of my own without worrying about mysterious social judgments that were being levied against other people. Nobody ever called me a creep except when they were desperately rummaging a sharply-limited vocabulary for additional insult-words, so it didn’t become an essential mystery that I felt the need to comprehend.
If any of that sounds familiar, you might find this (and the expounding links) useful:

A Proper English Tea Service
You don’t necessarily expect much from a blog post called A Proper Cup Of Tea. But it starts getting more interesting (if you like tea, it was already somewhat interesting) when the instructions get to:
Now pick the mug up and take it to him. When he takes it from you it is often a good idea to get a small cushion, not a plump one which can be worse than useless. Place the cushion on the floor beneath your knees…
We Americans are famously a nation of coffee drinkers. Perhaps it was an error to become such.
