Folksonomies

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

This isn’t a post as much as it is a placeholder for some articles I want to examine and write about later, after I finish a couple of promised applications and the rest of the updates for the chapters here.

I’m not quite sure what to make of ‘folksonomies’ –simple user defined tags within the same namespace. I hear the word ‘grassroots’ though, and have a knee jerk reaction to reject the concept out of hand. But I want to see why people are jumping up and down about this, so putting this in for a later, closer look.
