Mike, I'm not sure what you mean by that evaluation... are you saying that's bad? Do you agree/disagree with the general point of the article? Just parts of the article? Does it miss the boat entirely? To me, it generally sounds like the author asserts that the idea behind folksonomies has existed before (which I agree with) and then wonders why this current iteration of the idea seems to have garnered so much attention. Sticking it to the man, emergence, and the value *what* tags are used rather than just amassing as many as possible are also themes that resonate for me. And finally suggesting that we shouldn't rely on folksonomies alone as a way to organize the world, seems a fair statement, although he doesn't go into any detail. What rubbed you the wrong way? -bw. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bruce Wyman, Director of New Technologies Denver Art Museum / 100 W 14th Ave. Pkwy, Denver, CO 80204 office: 720.913.0159 / fax: 720.913.0002 <bwyman at denverartmuseum.org>
