So I searched for tagging on Carol's blog, and smack bang in the middle of the last result was this:"There's nothing earth-shattering about tagging (or some would call it "categorizing"). So why does it work?"I had to laugh :)- What can I use a blog for? What is a wiki? What is RSS?
I hear ya Ed. I wrote about this back in April when I gave the Seattle and Portland Lotusphere Comes To You presentations. { Link }I also found that many of my high tech. co-workers also were not aware of wikis, RSS and blogs.Great post my "friend".- What can I use a blog for?

@47David, I did think of that (hence my reference to 'being paid') :-) And if on an intranet one can be identified by one's tags, then there is the possibility of being judged by the number and the quality of one's actions. Something similar happened in my work environment, where I used to get much larger pay increases every year than most of my colleagues. It seemed that one of the criteria management used was how many contributions one made to the knowledgebase (a Notes app) - but also how many documents one read in the knowledgebase that were authored by others. I can see that one might argue that the users of an intranet are some form of community (a folk) in a way that the users of the internet are not. In a sense bloggers who are 'tagging for others' might also be construed to be a community.- What can I use a blog for? What is a wiki? What is RSS?
@41: re "there is little need for 'tagging as an aide-memoire". Tagging for yourself is not the point. Tagging for others is the point. Tagging is an act of sharing your way of classifying information, so that other people can benefit from your assessment, and so that analytical programs can combine your assessments with other peoples' in order to build a collective taxonomy (aka "folksonomy") that reflects what users really think is important about data. That's not going to happen with private folders that nobody else sees.re "Surely the Lotus KM applications must have been working in this direction."Around this direction, maybe, but not really in this direction. Early KM was built too much around a centrally managed taxonomy. Tagging is a counter-reaction to this. It's KM minus the busload of expert management and information science consultants.- What can I use a blog for? What is a wiki? What is RSS?

"I suppose in the end both of these types of motivation are driven by self-interest. But unless the tagger is someone with an internet persona they want/need to maintain, they are going to be tagging for their own benefit, not someone else's. So I would argue that the person who is 'tagging for others' is ultimately doing it for their own self-serving ends (payment or self-promotion)."This might be true in the context of blogs, personal sites, etc. on the Internet where your goal is to attract visitors and/or promote one's self.But think of this in the context of an Intranet, where the audience or users of the tagging metadata are a more closed group where there is no inherent benefit or need for self-promotion. And where the goal is to use this metadata to support content promotion and awareness of other relevant information, that is useful rather than the more self-serving need to attract traffic.- What can I use a blog for?

Categories are used to provide context. People also use Folders (such as in the file system) to provide this context.One advantage that Categories has over folders is that a single document can have multiple categories (if the field used for categorization is a multi value field).However placing a document in multiple categories simultaneously can be confusing for end users because they expect categories to behave like folders and don't understand that if you delete a document in one category, it also disappears in the other categories.Perhaps IBM should modify Hannover to warn the end user when they delete a document if it is displayed in multiple categories, so they are given the option to delete the document or simply delete the current category from the multiple value field.
