SmashedTogetherSearches
Posted by Ross Mayfield
Ever notice that SmashedTogetherWords, like you find in some wikis, can be queries of a machine code culture? Try people's names: clayshirky, danahboyd, sebpaquet, lizlawley, davidweinberger and rossmayfield on Google, or the same on Technorati. Try with other Pronouns and even more than nouns and you discover the emerging culture. Or maybe just a byproduct of blunt tagging and usable urls. Anywho, maybe it's better spaced out, but this is higher quality metadata.

i use my camel case wiki name MilkMiruku when registering on large sites where 'milk' is usually already taken. out of the 873 results on google, only one is not me - someone used the nick when asking for pics on a japanese porn site which is something, of course, that i'd never do ;P
