Alex Barnett has an excellent post about tags and the Long Tail.
. . .What it says to me at least is that these Long Tails of individual minds are strongly and potentially algorithmically correlated to the Long Tails of taggers’ collective efforts.
. . . In other words, tagware = natural Recommendation Networks
It also reminded me to take another look at an old post by James Corbett about tagging and the semantic web.
Note the quote from Jon Udell,
The social tagging services just get out of the way and try to let those conversations happen.
Let’s face it , tagging has become a revolution in it’s own right as to how people store, search, share and recive information
