plasticbag : Post one: A protest that the state of the art in tagging hasn't progressed enormously in the last four years. - Now here's a confession. I spent quite a lot of last year working around tags and I'm just a bit unsure how much of it I can talk about. It's all very aggravating. The project didn't launch.

plasticbag : Poor old Mr Vander Wal, a YouGov survey of the hated technology terms puts folksonomy out in front... - It seems a bit unfair since it's such a specific piece of terminology, but hey. I still prefer fauxonomy. It's funnier. Also hated blogosphere and blog. One of the founders of Blogger once told me she felt incredibly guilty for popularising that term...

Inspired me to some good thinking, either way...

Simon Willison : Flickr Machine Tags - Flickr Machine Tags. A new feature for API developers that lets them stuff arbritrary namespaced key/value pairs in to tags and query them using the API. Even without range queries, this will enable a ton of exciting new third party developments.
plasticbag : Flickr's introduced the concept of machine tags for everyone to start playing with - Ooh. Classy. Nice. All kinds of things can be built off the back of this. I'm just starting to get my head around the possibilities, although it's probably worth noting that I'm not necessarily sufficiently qualified to get the best view...

Andy Baio : Slashdot added tags for subscribers? - I love their criteria for forcing standardized tagging
jimray : Slashdot is experimenting with tags - Subscriber only for now and they reserve the right to change your tags at will, which sorta makes sense. Still, someone needs to figure out the ideal space between full on folksonomies and controlled vocabularies; this isn't it (yet).
