Gang gang is an elusive slang term that can mean many things. But typically, people use gang gang to either a) agree with something someone else just said or b) refer to a group of friends. [...] While gang gang's exact origin is unknown, it appears to have originated in the Chicago rap scene. As many Chicago rap artists went mainstream around 2012, so did gang gang. Squad, thot, and other AAVE terms are also thought to have entered mainstream slang vocabularies this way. [...] Because gang gang is already unnecessarily repetitive, people love adding extra gangs to it. You may see social media users write gang gang as gang gang gang, gang gang gang gang, and so on when they want to emphasize their feelings of agreement or friendship.

I first found out about MicroPlaza when Roland started sharing MicroPlaza entries in Google Reader - there was good stuff being shared, and the screenshot of the web page (plus the full title of the linked to page instead of just another short URL) made it easy to decide if the whole thing was worth reading. The commentary of all the people linking to the item makes for even more context. [...] With bookmarks (and including a javascript bookmarklet to "add to Microplaza"), MP also can replace Delicious or other link bookmarking services. You can then go back to your bookmarks and see all of the people that have ever posted a Twitter item linking to that URL. [...] MicroPlaza is also creating its own public tribes, such as @topopensource, which follows a number of people and then lets you see the top open source links.

Insights from complexity science help move beyond a Newtonian worldview of cause and effect to one that is holistic, nonlinear, and interactive.

Complexity science offers a more coherent way of explaining how functional design can emerge without a designer. Design happens as adaptive agents (such as commoners) interact with each other. The self-organization of agents — what we call “[[peer organization]]” in a commons — gives rise incrementally to complex organizational systems. There is no master blueprint or top-down, expert-driven knowledge behind the process. It emerges from agents responding to their own local, bounded circumstances.

[[Linus's law]] ("given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow") may apply to [[aggregation]]. Given enough eyeballs, all [[content]] has [[context]].

[[Learning in public]] and projects that aggregate instances of people learning in public (such as [[Anagora]]) apply Linus's law.

[[Agreement]] and [[disagreement]] is context. Context helps distinguishing content.
