to-do list for web 2.1

[rone]

• My preferred content purveyor (RSS aggregator, LiveJournal friends page, etc.) should have the ability to hide updates that are tagged with something i consider undesirable (for example, i might want my LJ friends page to never show an entry tagged with "goatse" or "furries").  Although this would depend on proper tagging, one could conceivably extend it to the content of the entry (much like running a killfile on headers versus an article body in one's favorite newsreader).  And while i'm wishing for a killfile, i want LJ to provide one so we never again have to see obnoxious "FIRST!" or "BOOBIES!" comments.  It's time for the Web to borrow heavily from Usenet's good ideas.

• I need hierarchical tags.  For example, i want to group my "gig review" tags under an all-encompassing "music" tag that may also include "album review".  The "trip" tag can include "wine country", which would include "paso robles", "santa cruz mountains", "sonoma" and "napa".  "original work" can then include "onesies" as well as "ash of friendship", "zenemba", and "axe beak & claw".  You get the picture.  Oh, yeah, i had a point here: it's just like i'm writing in the ronebofh.* hierarchy. ronebofh.misc, ronebofh.trip.wine-country.paso-robles, ronebofh.fuckheads.microsoft.die.die.die.  OK, i think i'm done.

I see. But I still don't understand what "first" means. Are they simply posting that because they are the first to make a comment on a popular blog?

If trolls gave a shit about anything then "first" would make someone a high status troll.

You precisely have it.

Wow. I'm guessing such people aren't too popular or socially well-adjusted in the real world.
