Comments on: The “del.icio.us Lesson” – personal value precedes network value http://www.theequitykicker.com/2007/02/02/the-delicious-lesson-personal-value-precedes-network-value/ Nic Brisbourne's view from London on venture capital and exploiting change in technology and media Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:08:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: leafar http://www.theequitykicker.com/2007/02/02/the-delicious-lesson-personal-value-precedes-network-value/#comment-698 leafar Sun, 04 Feb 2007 14:40:08 +0000 http://www.theequitykicker.com/2007/02/02/the-delicious-lesson-personal-value-precedes-network-value/#comment-698 Dear Nic, I completly agree with personal value before Network value. And the example of tagging is excellent (thanks for the link). I think tagging is for personal use = organize. Then you can use it for Network value (Tagging will be available in 2 weeks on <a href="http://www.u-lik.com" rel="nofollow"> U.[lik]</a> and i think we came with a pretty good solution). Always happy when you digg stuff in this space. Have seen the flixster deal? Dear Nic,

Thanks John,
