Phil: Heh, I saw. I was very surprised it was Yahoo who acquired them though, as they've already got a similar system. I thought it would be Google who'd see the value and snap them up. Oh well. Best just to hope Yahoo don't mess del.icio.us up like so many promising sites before!

Lookat that! You must be psychic or something; Yahoo just "acquired" Del.icio.us yesterday!

Just FYI, Yahoo have a del.icio.us-like system now called MyWeb2.0. It's still in Beta, but uses tags and such just like del.icio.us, and can even import bookmarks from rss feeds (such as del.icio.us), and will use any tags it finds in those feeds. The interesting thing it adds to the del.icio.us model is a social network, so you can share bookmarks with everyone, just your friends, or no-one. It's nowhere near as popular as del.icio.us at the moment, but it might get there eventually.

Ismael: The term "folksonomy" was around, yes. However, personally I think it's a rather pointless name for something much better described other ways, which is why I avoid using it.

Hi. I guess when you wrote this article the "folksonomy" term was not around?
Great site and super cool scripts!

Hi Dara. Yes, they are very very powerful! They're not a perfect system, but they are much more flexible than anything else, and unlike normal information categorisation structures, they make some use of the power of computers.

funny, I've been using tags for awhile both with del.icio.us, flickr and Wordpress.

But until I read your article, I hadn't really thought about how powerful tags can be. I'm currently rewriting a php cms script I have, and -- thanks to you -- I'm looking at ways to use tags for searching and indexing the site, as well as other possibities.

Thanks so much :D

Technically, not hard. Practically, not too easy. The main thing is to have people do the tagging. And you can't have the companies doing the tagging themselves because they'll basically just lie when listing tags.
