Tagging & Del.icio.us

23 Things Item #13

Today I listened to the tutorial about Del.icio.us. (I'm already familiar with tagging.) It's neat that tagging has become a peer driven taxonomy, with freely chosen keywords. The difficulty is when people use "fuzzy" terms such as popular or educational. These are somewhat vague terms that mean different things to different people.

The interconnectivity of Del.icio.us is amazing. I can see how it would be very useful for the exchange of information and ideas.
