Do you use tag bundles in Delicious? Did you know that Delicious had tag bundles? Do you know what a tag bundle is? Let’s start with the what. Tag bundles are groups of tags that have to do with the same subject – it’s a way for you to organize your tags into smaller batches. [...]

No more anonymous Flickr tags

Have you ever tagged someone else’s photo on Flickr? I have, but usually only when I’m in it. I guess anonymous tagging happens more than we realize and so Flickr has now added the ability to see who added the tag: Flickr has quietly made a big change to its tagging system, which from now [...]

my del.icio.us tags Originally uploaded by nengard I decided to play with Wordle. I didn’t have a paper or article that I wanted to use, so instead I decided to generate a cloud for my del.icio.us bookmarks. I think this is the perfect image of me – open source and libraries being my biggest terms!! [...]

I am giving a workshop on Flickr next month and I have to admit that there isn’t a conference that goes by where I don’t learn something new about Flickr (that I should have known). I’m at the NFAIS Humanities Rountable and Tim Spalding has just finished his intro to LibraryThing talk in which he [...]

Rob Cagna from University of Pennsylvania came to talk to us about PennTags. The last time I saw this it was a bit rough – it has grown up a lot since it’s birth!! PennTags is like del.icio.us for members of the Penn community. They can save pages from anywhere on the web, from the [...]

Tags: Keywords to describe digital objects Originally uploaded by cambodia4kidsorg. I mentioned in my summary of David Weinberger’s keynote at KMWorld & Intranets how you can only put the book in one place – you can only give it one label – on the web you have the ability to apply multiple labels/categories to an [...]

KMW2006 – Folksonomies, Social Tagging, & Complexity Theory

Posted by Nicole on November 2nd, 2006 under KM2006, Tagging
 •  No Comments

Usually people who are fans of taxonomies do not get along with folksonomy fans. Our speaker, Tom Reamy, made sure that we knew going in that he was on the taxonomist’s side of things before he started talking. The funny thing was the next thing he said was that Library Scientists and Folksonomists (or believers [...]
