How do the logics of the web, networked writing and folksonymy<br \/>\nlet loose (a plentitude of <i>named<\/i> small-pieces, loosely joined) the<br \/>\npropriety of an onomastics founded on scarcity, where place-names refer formally<br \/>\nto physical locations and also depend upon authorization, a kind of official<br \/>\nlicense? We will have one name and one name only! Erm, okay, two&#8230;<i>two<\/i><br \/>\nnames. No more. Granted, place-names or toponyms are not altogether<br \/>\nunraveled or let loose. Kansas is still &quot;Kansas,&quot; or &quot;KS,&quot; even in Google Maps (at<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?ie=UTF8&#038;ll=37.0625,-95.677068&#038;spn=94.3311,329.765625&#038;om=1\">a certain scale<\/a>, though, the name vanishes because it&#8217;s too specific,<br \/>\ntoo local; KS fades into anyplace). But while these stabilized place-names<br \/>\nremain on highway signs and also showing at certain scales of the<br \/>\ncybercartographic mash-ups, the digital introduces a capacity for differently<br \/>\ncirculating and contending name systems. Toponyms are further compounded. For now I don&#8217;t care whether<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re online or on I-90. New (by which I mean not pre-fixed), folksonomic names<br \/>\nand tags don&#8217;t automatically replace the official names, although they might one<br \/>\nday contend with them and even displace them or unsettle them a bit. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Maybe the questions are all wrong. What is the tie between tagging and<br \/>\nplace-names, whether space is prefixed with geo- or cyber-? No, no, that&#8217;s<br \/>\nnot quite it either. Or else it is, and I&#8217;m not able to come up with a<br \/>\nsatisfying answer. But the digital seems to awaken <i>something<\/i><br \/>\nbetween protocols (IP addresses and URLs) as place-names and cartographic<br \/>\ntoponyms (physical place-names on maps) as tags. In other words, online<br \/>\nmapping apps make me think that something shifts (or is brought nearer together,<br \/>\nmaybe) between official geographic place-names and Weinberger&#8217;s idea of the web<br \/>\nas &quot;places without space.&quot; The web&#8217;s geography of place-names mixes the<br \/>\nproper, the common with the improper and uncommon, with the uncanny and<br \/>\nanachronistic (even if the a href requires syntactic precision). <\/p>\n<p>Here you could have just read Weinberger&#8217;s &quot;Space&quot; chapter.
