Comments on: 5 Tips for Integrating Tagging into Your Web Business http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/10/23/5-tips-for-integrating-tagging-into-your-web-business/ Rebooting the workforce Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:25:37 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Tag http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/10/23/5-tips-for-integrating-tagging-into-your-web-business/#comment-291460 Tag Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:47:53 +0000 http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/10/23/5-tips-for-integrating-tagging-into-your-web-business/#comment-291460 Thanks. I am new to tagging, so this was interesting. I think the entire idea is really cool. There is just so much information on the Internet, we need ways to organize it topically. I would think, however, that the sites will need to start sharing their tagged info. Seems like all the tag cloud sites are building these massive databases in their walled cities. At some point, that will need to be aggregated via APIs... We're not there, but I would imaging it's coming. Thanks. I am new to tagging, so this was interesting.

However, what interests me even more (because so far no one seems to have implemented it) is the potential benefits of managing ALL information with tags, especially files on one's own desktop system. The storage capacities even of handheld devices begin to approach a level where the traditional, hierarchical top-down system of folders and subfolders has become onerous and limiting. A really useful application would combine local and web tagging in one interface. The Linux-KDE Konqueror web/file browser is almost an example of what I am talking about, except that (as far as I know) there is no way for the user to assign tags to files or URLs. I believe that it would be more efficient to concentrate on the application rather than the content, because: people view many files and websites through one browser. Thus the programming and development would be better spent on the one rather than the many. I also believe that open-source is the best approach because once the concept has been developed and refined, then the community can port it over to a multitude of other applications; this will 'seed' the ecosystem leading to rapid market growth.

I'm very curious about these numbers. Are these from Forrester? Thanks! “one in 10 online consumers in the United States tags something on the Web at least monthly”

My bad, not the author's. Any insights on that you could offer?

There is no mention of social tagging being from the person tagging to hold onto the information or object. The focus is the common old school approach that people are tagging to add things to the system. They tag for their own reasons (there are many), but largely because the central methods do not work for finding in their vocabulary or contexts. The report sounds like it gets ease of use right and the privacy question (few good answers so far in the tools). The surfacing for search is really short sighted as it is also much more complicated than that. Hmm, seems Forrester has another poorly understood concept in an expensive paper.
