Stefano's Piggybank: Distributed Tagsonomy Stefano released a new version of Piggybank today, his semantic web killer app. Two interesting items left out of Stefano's post: Piggybank allows you to run private 'banks' for non-public annotation of web resources. The simplest way to think of this is like a distributed de.licio.us -- one in which you own and control your annotations, but can share them with whoever you like. I think that's a model worth emulating. Piggybank ships as a firefox plugin but runs as an out-of-process web server. At ~15Meg or so (sans Java runtime), I think it takes the crown for most-sizable firefox extension. :-) (Thanks to Ken Novak for the synopsis) 2:02:36 PM      comment []  trackback []
