Week 56 #14 Tagging, folksomonies, and social bookmarking in del.icio.us

Tagging is a great concept and one well-used by library customers searching on the web as it means they are no confined to a strict vocabulary and can find all kinds of information. However, uncontrolled tabs do mean you can also miss things. I like the concept of being able to bookmark a webpage and add my own tags. I ended up at the New Zealand foodlovers website - yummy.
It is also interesting to see that libraries are incorporating RSS feeds from their catalogues. Mainly US at this stage, no doubt we will do so too.
