Languages are made up of words. The Web is a neverending maze. We tag the Web to find our way through. Tags are words. We put meaning into words. Semantics is the study of meanings. We need a guide through this semantic maze. Web social media help us tag around, interact, make sense of it, negotiate meaning, find the way.

    Lovely, Jose Luis! Love playing with words, images and meanings.
    How do you see your journey through the semantic maze?

    Jose Luis,
    I love your blog’s name. Beautiful image and it pictures the way I feel about Social Media. Happy to find out that someone has found image and words to describe my own feelings.

    I love the picture you chose! Luckily it’s not just a word-based media. What I like about social media is that pictures also can play a large role, as can sound (without words? – this may be something to look into!)

  4. I am with the others – I love your blog’s title – I was just looking at my Bloglines and trying to figure out which blog I should respond to next, and I decided to choose yours because the title caught my attention! :)

    Thank you for your kind comments.
    The journey through the semantic maze is fascinating.
    There is a problem though; I try to be in so many places that in the end I am nowhere.
