Tagsonomy.com, and an answer to Tim Bray

Email This Entry

Posted by Clay Shirky

Some of us talking about tagging a have launched a group weblog called “You’re It: A blog on tagging,” at tagsonomy.com. (Authors are Christian Crumlish, David Weinberger, Don Turnbull, Jon Lebkowsky, Kaliya Hamlin, Mary Hodder, Timo Hannay, and me.)

My introductory post there pointed to my earlier tagging articles at M2M. My first real post is a response to Tim Bray’s question: “Are there any questions you want to ask, or jobs you want to do, where tags are part of the solution, and clearly work better than old-fashioned search?” I think the answer is Yes, and try to delinate some of the reasons why.

(And, because tagging straddles social and organizational concerns, I’ll have to figure out when to post here vs there, but I’m planning to x-post pointers generally.)

Link is broken to tagsonomy.com in your post. Looking forward to checking out the new blog. We have lots of cool tagalicious stuff happening here at Corante and want you all to weigh in on how we implement things.
