e.g. **Evolving technologies and combined social and technical pathway** It seems from a broad view of the literature on web technologies that technical innovation and their uptake by large numbers of new users are two closely related aspects of evolving tools and online information sharing practices. Axel Bruns, in his book on RSS, gatewatching and online news production (2005), highlights that bloggers have been quick to take up RSS related tools and to adopt tools such as trackback, and perhaps less commonly the FOAF ontology. That these users are keen to try new things, in turn encourages the developer of blogging technologies and ad ons to experiment further. Flickr's Eric Costello concurs. Costello says that his team of technical developer watch what Flickr' users do with new functionality, and adds that the Flickr software environment is permanently in a state of Beta. That it the Flickr team have now presubscribed inventory of functionality to ad to the system they provide to users, but rather the functional requirements evolve as user take ups new tools that work for them (and equally, ignore tools that are too complex or do not fill an immediate need) ([|Garrett, 2005]). 1156663283
