Week 7: Thing 15: Tagging is Delicious!

 What I like most about Delicious is the idea of a folksonomy vs. a taxonomy. Taxonomies are official, rigid, and not very user-friendly. Unlike taxonomies, folksonomies are designed to be broad or specialized, they are always changing or being added to, and they are created from the bottom up. I think it's neat to see how people tag the same photograph or website with different words. Everyone interprets something differently. Delicious and tagging, to me, are at the core of Web 2.0. I even added some tags to my blog today!
