This phenomenon is easy to observe. I was providing a group of users I work with some default posting tags to "get them started" based on the section of a site they were posting to and content from their posts. Big mistake. The overwhelming response was to simply accept the defaults as if they are some kind of a priori cataloging system. Virtually NO ONE replaced the starter tags and almost no one even bothered to add tags even with obvious need or glaring dissonance between their posts and the generated recommendations. c -- Chris Lott _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
