Diigo is about "Social Annotation", a superset of social bookmarking. We believe that the social annotation service provided by Diigo can really enhance your experience for online browsing and interactions, and for information gathering and sharing.
"My guess is that federation across tag spaces will be accomplished by aggregators and search engines. When the subject is avian flu, they'll enable you to compare the resources cited by nonspecialists with those cited by various kinds of specialists (...
"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."
Folks. "promote exploration and learning as users browse related topics, tags, and users. (...) users have the opportunity to locate new resources that they might not ever have come across through searching."
"network is decentralized, with each node—be it a tag, individual, or object—able to connect to another within the system. What arises, when enacted on a large enough scale, is rhizomatic: multiple points of entry for multiple participants"
"Could the order of tags be a general solution for hierarchical tagging? It would be similar to relations between words within sentences or to the order of folders in a directory and without enforcing a structure."
"Folksonomy (...) refers to the collaborative but unsophisticated way in which information is being categorized on the web. (...) users are encouraged to assign freely chosen keywords (called tags) to pieces of information or data, a process known as tagg
Tag Systems "are supremely responsive to user needs and vocabularies (...). (T)ransforming the creation of explicit metadata for resources from an isolated, professional activity into a shared, communicative activity by users is an important development"
"(...) has the most power and value in vertical search-style app.s, where a community of experts contributes to a pool of content that is then rated by other experts, assuring that the best available content is recognized and becomes readily available."
"tagging eliminates the decision - (choosing the right category), and takes away the analysis-paralysis stage (...) it provides immediate self and social feedback (...) it taps into an existing cognitive process without adding add much cognitive cost"
"with their ability to let users do most of the organizational work of the information on a web site, they may yet prove to be a valuable (..) way for information architects to keep a handle on the addition of information into an already-burdened architec
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"
Folksonomies könnten ähnlich wie natürliche Sprachen wachsen, sich verändern und sich verbreiten. Die Tagger sollten sich höchtens locker an einigen wenigen, einfachen Konventionen orientieren.
"a short introduction to what distributed classification systems allow you to do with tags, and how to generate tags to maximize the social value of these systems."
"by letting users tag (...), we're (building) systems that, like the Web itself, do a better job of letting individuals create value for one another, often without realizing it."
"we discovered regularities in user activity, tag frequencies, kinds of tags used, bursts of popularity in bookmarking and a remarkable stability in the relative proportions of tags within a given url. We also present a dynamical model of collaborative ta
"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"
"Xerox has a tool that helps automate the categorization process, but allows the engineer - the subject matter expert - to create his own categories dynamically in a way a machine-learning system could not."
"(...) tagging system is not "controlled" in this sense (...), but I'm wondering whether its web-scale nature can provide some benefit that one would not expect."
"The future co-existence of controlled vocabularies and collaborative tagging is predicted, with each appropriate for use within distinct information contexts: formal and informal."
Tagyu is a hosted service that automates the process of creating document metadata by discovering what keywords, tags, and categories are relevant for a document. Instead of relying on machine learning to understand what a document is about, Tagyu uses hu

The two mostly used tagging plugins are the Ultimate Tag Worrior (UTW) and Jerome’s Keywords. I think most people use UTW, however especially its performance has been criticized in the past. Also, it does not provide a auto-complete type-ahead dropdown
ExpertInnenworkshop: „Social Tagging in der Wissensorganisation – Perspektiven und Potenziale“ am 21./22. Februar 2008 am Institut für Wissensmedien in Tübingen
Web 2.0-Dienste wie Del.icio.us, Myspace, Flickr und YouTube haben in kürzester Zeit Millionen von Nutzern für sich gewinnen können. Gemeinsam ist diesen Plattformen die Möglichkeit der Metadatenvergabe per Social Tagging - Nutzer verschlagworten
edutagger is a social bookmarking service for K-12 learners and educators, allowing you to store your web links online and share them with others, all within an educational context.
This project is some kind of an experiment. The main supposition of the project is that tags specified by blogs' authors in their blog posts are associated between each other. Our tag spider runs over blogs feeds, gathers the set of tags from each blog post and then combines tag pairs from the set of tags. We suppose that pairs of associated tags can have wide applications in science, marketing and IT. We have found several methods of use. Through API you can invent your own methods of use.
