• Shirky: Ontology is Overrated -- Categories, Links, and Tags
  What I think is coming instead are much more organic ways of organizing information than our current categorization schemes allow, based on two units -- the link, which can point to anything, and the tag, which is a way of attaching labels to links. The strategy of tagging -- free-form labeling, without regard to categorical constraints -- seems like a recipe for disaster, but as the Web has shown us, you can extract a surprising amount of value from big messy data sets.

Going one step beyond my recent collection of 6 social bookmarking services for your post footer, 3spots lays out the code for 30 (yup, thirty!) different places for your readers to bookmark your posts. Now that's service!! Incidentally, I see Blinklist being used over there for categories. Interesting.... (v. nice sidebar tag cloud!)

• Tagging: Keeping Tabs On The Net
  Now, companies are figuring out ways to take advantage of this phenomenon. As they tag, subscribers end up collectively highlighting changing trends and raging discussions all available at the del.icio.us site. Increasingly, innovative advertisers and other companies are trying to make sense of these discussions. "The conversation we're having with clients is, 'How do you stay on top of tagging? Because you need to, and it can be hugely beneficial,"' says Dan Buczaczer, a vice-president at ad firm Starcom Media Vest Group.
