Tagging

"Recent research shows that millions of Web users are tagging - attaching their own metadata to photos, websites, videos, and other online information - every day. These tags are used to share and discover information, track conversations, express identity, and have fun. Tagging is a new form of information management that sits at the boundaries of personal organization, information architecture, and online community. Its widespread adoption over the past few years shows that it's more than a passing trend; it's a newand interesting facet of our digital culture. Tagging explains the value of tagging, explores why people tag, describes how tagging works, and shows designers and developers how they canuse tagging to improve the user experience."--BOOK JACKET.Smith, Gene is the author of 'Tagging', published 2008 under ISBN 9780321529176 and ISBN 0321529170.
