  6. Folksonomies
    folksonomies.gif
    A folksonomy is a user-generated classification, emerging through bottom-up consensus. A fusion of the words folks and taxonomy, the first use of the term folksonomy has been attributed to Thomas Vander Wal. Taxonomy comes from taxis and nomos (from Greek). Taxis means classification. Nomos (or nomia) means management. Folk is people. The term was coined in the AIfIA mailing list to mean the wide-spreading practice of collaborative categorization using freely chosen keywords by a group of people cooperating spontaneously. Folksonomies are not a theory or a top-down strategy: they were born out of a feature (folk classification tools) introduced by software like Del.icio.us, Flickr, 43things, Furl, Technorati, etc. and from people using these platforms to tag their contents (links, photos, etc).

  7. Panoramas
    panoramas.gif
    Panoramas.dk is created by Hans Nyberg a commercial photographer in Denmark. His intention with this site is to make immersive panoramic images also called VR Photography more known among the general public. Interactive panoramas is a young media and as such it has for many years been known among entusiastic photographers and multimedia creators. An interactive VR panorama can not be seen in a book or on a printed image. If you print the panorama it gets a completely different expression.

You don't have to go find RSS Feeds to subscribe to, although, once again, you may eventually want to. All you really have to do is click on things you find interesting, and read them.

  10. Extisp.icio.us
    extispicious.gif
    extisp.icio.us text gives you a random textual scattering of a user's tags, sized according to the number of times that they've used each of them, and leaves you to draw your own insights from the overlapping entrails.

    extisp.icio.us images displays a random Yahoo images search result for each of a user's tag words (excluding those which they've only ever used once). Despite the best intentions of the Yahoo API, and extisp.icio.us's further attempts at filtering, however, some tags will occasionally be assigned images which are not work safe.

Thatch

With Regard to the Wave editor. Try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ it's open source and works across Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. Price Free. Performance pretty good.
