One of the turning points for @archillect was omitting #hashtags from the decision making process.

The hashtags added are not an important part of how @archillect categorizes the content.

Here is why:

A nerd never #hashtags his/her content as #nerd. For the nerd, the share isn't nerd. It's normal.

Similarly, when content contains #art, #photography, #design, etc. it's source is not in the core of the topic. It's the point of view of an outsider*.

To find the real insider, "the real collector", "the cream of the crop", hashtags are eliminated. This way the discovery is more related to it's audience of influence and less related to it's human added point of view: curated meta tags.

"Ripple Map" of @archillect contains the social structure of more than 12 million entities today. Pick one, she tells you what's related.

Still far from perfection. But..

..one step at a time.
