All About Social Bookmarking, Tagging And The Tools
If you want to know more -- in depth -- about social bookmarking and tagging, D-Lib Magazine's general overview is the place for you. Not only does it provide lots of links and a review of the available tools. It explains what it's all about too:
"To anyone familiar with top-down classification schemes, this approach could look like a fearful muddle. But this doesn't mean that it is without value - after all, the Web itself appears from the outside as a somewhat messy affair (almost its defining characteristic). Rather, this is an altogether different - and, we would argue, complementary - form of classification. Compared to the traditional top-down approach, folksonomy data is much noisier but also more flexible, more abundant and far cheaper."Take a look at the editorial as well: "...the power of computer networks has put a powerful organizational capability in the hands of ordinary information consumers. Will it work?"
