"Coming to Terms: Understanding Folksonomy"

"del.icio.us is important because it allows the users to tag the Internet. It's a fundamental part of the infrastructure of the Internet."

"As a user, I need a field in which I can let my fingers gush out keyword-tags once I've finished writing my post."

"This program stems every tag in your del.icio.us collection in an effort to find duplicate concepts."

"Tag literacy in this sense refers to the 'etiquette' of generating tags in a way that increases their social value, balancing individual needs with the needs of the group."

"Commentator David Weinberger says a growing trend allows us all to have a say on how to organize the Internet."

"...I realize the definition of Folksonomy has become completely unglued from anything I recognize..."

It's like an insane variant on outline-mode

So, let me get this straight: Save-- or reconstruct-- Detroit's urbanity by tagging experiential networks and maps of it in digital spaces? And graffiti tags are analogous to XML tags? Somehow this will make people want to work/live/play in the city?

"We find new Detroits emerging out of our own discursive constructions." I also find new lint architectures emerging from my navel.
