I once googled myself. I got nothing, but my uncle turned up. I clicked on the link--it was an Asian board game association, and I am curious naturally--and found several thousand other names. Not just the names, either--full contact information, like addresses, phone numbers, e-mail, etc.
The reputation system? Maybe something that, yes, we'd like try, but, this being the Internet, there always will be some sites somewhere that put out misinformation. Politically-motivated sites are the first ones that come to mind for me.
The idea of a transferable, semantic reputation is identity nirvana No; Kurt Cobain, Chris Novoselic, and Dave Grohl are Nirvana.
Personally, my friends and I use Internet tabs. Part of it is that we lack the appropriate funds to buy tabs, but we also only want specific songs instead of a whole crapload of other garbage that we don't want! If I only like one song from Band Q and the only place I can get the tab for it is in a book with all the 5627 other songs Band Q made, and the thing costs $500 (or whatever it all costs these days), and there's a tab on the Net with reasonable accuracy, you know where I'm going to go.
Agree/Disagree?
Also, it's true that I-net tabs aren't necessarily as accurate as the "official" ones, but doesn't that leave a little room for improv if you want to sound different from someone? Have a little creative edge?
One cannot censor the will of the people.
