Back at Google, I helped design and define our
Flagging Feature: "This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable. Have you read
The Wisdom of Crowds? It's sort of like that." Today I noticed Xanga is implementing a flagging feature. The
incredibly direct connection to the community that John has is awesome. I love how he uses his xanga to run features by xangans. Recently,
we set up a forum at Odeo but it lacks depth of character. We'll tend to that. Also,
we need to podcast more.
