tags, not trees

Take my new tree-structure-free gizmo (pls use Firefox/Safari) out for a test drive:

What is it?

Whatever you want it to be: Navigation-free website. Tags-only blog. Complicated-to-simple database. Active resource picker. Knowledge and learning base. File system. Whatever. An experiment for the heck of it.

Basically a different approach to organise data, finding data, and transferring knowledge.

An example of no-tree-structure-at-all. Anataxonomy in practice:

• Organising:
  Free, dynamic and imprecise tagging of objects/subjects vs. fixed positioning in two-dimensional tree structure.
• Finding / Identity:
  Intersection/overlapping of multiple imprecise tags with no regard to sequence nor logic vs. precise navigation following learned standards / unique logical positions.
• Knowledge:
  Object/subject relationships directly visible in identity vs. identity plus large amounts of data linkage.

Enough talk, here's the tagwork, but first a few hints to ease you into it:

(Please, please use Firefox or Safari... anything but the "that browser which cannot be named", otherwise some features (modern technology and such) does not display nicely.)

1. Write "wa" in the field.
2. Click on "War", then "Wall" - see what happens.
3. Write "sm" in field instead.
4. Click "Smile".
5. Unclick "War".
6. Got it?
7. Click on any object-link and see whole text body, add comment (including more tags to comment) or add yet more tags to object/subject.
8. If you need to create a new tag use "Add tag" on top of tag list.
9. Please add another "art object" by hitting "Add object" on top of tag list and tag it at will!

[Note: The "art data base" is not the world's largest with its 15 objects (OK, I'm lazy, and no DB import function yet :), so feel free to add more objects. Anything is appreciated, it's only a test man!]

Now go there: http://thingamy.com/tagwork/ - enjoy! (pls use Firefox/Safari)

P.s.
The "tagwork" is a hands-on experiment, its traits are intrinsic to the Thingamy run-the-business system as base for the system's built-in communication (CMS, blog, mail-client etc.) and any interface where resources/data/objects/subjects have to be organised and found (HR, production, accounting, reports, etc), and choices have to be made (in process, workflow, etc.).

That said, the example have a nice admin back-end and can stand alone as a CMS, data repository, file system replacement (heh, why not?), blog system (let's add RSS and trackback), different take on wikis or whatever you could imagine.
