A proposito dell’utilità dei tag per archiviare e ricercare contenuti:
These relationships help explain why frequent personal recovery tends to be a stronger motivator for tagging than occasional public recovery. They also highlight why tagging has caught on in areas with traditionally lower search & browse efficiency like photos (flickr) and Web bookmarks (del.icio.us).
Insomma, non sempre è utile taggare (ma è sempre meglio di niente, ndb).
Altri suggerimenti arrivano da un interessante confronto tra Amazon e LibraryThing:
There are a couple of lessons, but the most important is this: Tagging works well when people tag “their” stuff, but it fails when they’re asked to do it to “someone else’s” stuff. You can’t get your customers to organize your products, unless you give them a very good incentive.
Infine, recentemente il solito David:
Taxonomizing is about more than just drawing boxes and connecting them with lines. Taxonomies - at least some of them - reveal the order of things. They increase knowledge by manifesting multifaceted relationships among things. In that light, tagging and folksonomies look like the vulgarizing of knowledge, and well-bred taxonomies turn up their perky noses at the ill-manner interlopers. But the new taxonomizing does more than increase knowledge. It reveals meaning.
Il dibattito è aperto.
