• *michael parekh on IT*: ON WHY IS TAGGING SO FRICKIN' HARD?
  
  TAG ME IF YOU CAN (New updates below) In a post a few days ago, I touched on the darker side of tags, specifically in the ways that tags can and are being used by spammers and "spam blogs"* . I remain convinced that tags can be a very useful part of the web going forward, and its most obvious benefits are best seen through photo blog sites like Yahoo!'s Flickr. Take a picture of a

• A Tool for Individualizing the Web
  Prescient paper from a few researchers at U Michigan in 1994, describing a system called PAINT - This is truely the precursor of tagging. See this from the abstract:The increasing complexity of navigating the Internet is becoming one of the fundamental obstacles to its effective use. This is due to the nature of the Internet, principally, a disorganized collection of both sites and site documents whose exponential growth rate rapidly is outstripping any user's ability to master it. There are two ways to deal with this complexity: reorganize the structure of the Internet or give each user the ability to organize an individual perspective of the Internet.
