"Despite its intrinsic anarchist nature, the dynamics of this terminology system spontaneously leads to patterns of terminology common to the whole community or to subgroups of it."
Eingehender Vergleich der BM-Tools, Fokus auf akademsichen Nutzern. "In many ways these new tools resemble blogs stripped down to the bare essentials. Here the essential unit of information is a link, not a story"
"we have to (...) merge and leverage emerging and traditional tools to improve findability. (...) at the intersection of those two models is a more powerful framework for identifying, sharing, and finding information. The goal is a metadata ecology"
"Tagging in and of its self is a helpful step up from no tagging, but is no where near as beneficial as opening the tagging to all. Folksonomy tagging can provide connections across cultures and disciplines (...)"
"Tagging works because it strikes a balance between the individual and social. It serves the individual motive of remembering, and forms a ad-hoc social groups around it."
"They are built to be human-usable (...) are targeted primarily for storage/retrieval of personal information and serendipitous discovery of group information . (...) The development communities for each are abuzz with ideas for exploiting the structure"
"a blog dedicated to folksonomies and reflections on the social tagging paradigm (...) I'm currently an LIS postgraduate, studying and working in London, UK. (...) Nick Woolley" - With bibliography on folksonomies!
"This study surveyed the folksonomy as a complex network. The result indicates that the network, which is composed of the tags from the folksonomy, displays both properties of small world and scale-free."
"controlled vocabularies often miss out on input from content authors and become rigid (...); folksonomies will begin to break down for the reasons mentioned above. Treating them as major parts of a single metada ecology might expose a useful symbiosis"
"social networking services that really work are the ones that are built around objects. (...) Flickr, for example, has turned photos into objects of sociality. On del.icio.us the objects are the URLs. EVDB, Upcoming.org, and evnt focus on events as objec

Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior. […] For corporate leaks, yes, free speech laws could make things easier. Not for military contractors, because they’re in bed with intelligence agencies. If a spy agency’s involved, IMMI won’t help you. Except it may increase the diplomatic cost a little, if they’re caught. That’s why our primary defense isn’t law, but technology."
Researchers believe that comparing products, rather than rating them on an absolute scale, will lead to algorithms that better predict customers’ preferences. ----------------- http://horicky.blogspot.com/2011/09/recommendation-engine.html
