  This is the original blog post that brought the term "folksonomy" to the world wide web audience. It provides a short list of the benefits and drawbacks of folksonomy at the time of the post (2004).

  • think folksonomies can work well for certain kinds of information because  they offer a small reward for using one of the popular categories (such as your  photo appearing on a popular page). People who enjoy the social aspects of the  system will gravitate to popular categories while still having the freedom to  keep their own lists of tags.

     

    On the other hand, I can see a few reasons why a folksonomy would be less  than ideal in a lot of cases:

     
     
    • None of the current implementations have synonym control (e.g. "selfportrait" and "me" are distinct Flickr tags, as  are "mac" and "macintosh" on Del.icio.us).  
    • Also, there's a certain lack of precision involved in using simple one-word  tags--like which Lance are we  talking about? (Though this is great for discovery, e.g. hot or Edmonton)  
    • And, of course, there's no heirarchy and the content types (bookmarks,  photos) are fairly simple.
     

    Still, the idea of socially constructed classification schemes (with no input  from an information architect) is interesting. Maybe one of these services will  manage to build a social thesaurus.

  • Folksonomy: social classification Posted on: Aug 3, 2004 Filed under: Information Architecture Comments Comments (15)  Last week I asked the AIfIA members' list what they thought about the social classification happening at Furl, Flickr and Del.icio.us. In each of these systems people classify their pictures/bookmarks/web pages with tags (e.g. wedding), and then the most popular tags float to the top (e.g. Flickr's tags or Del.icio.us on the right).  Thomas Vander Wal, in his reply, coined a great name for these informal social categories: a folksonomy.  I think folksonomies can work well for certain kinds of information because they offer a small reward for using one of the popular categories (such as your photo appearing on a popular page). People who enjoy the social aspects of the system will gravitate to popular categories while still having the freedom to keep their own lists of tags.  On the other hand, I can see a few reasons why a folksonomy would be less than ideal in a lot of cases:   * None of the current implementations have synonym control (e.g. "selfportrait" and "me" are distinct Flickr tags, as are "mac" and "macintosh" on Del.icio.us).  * Also, there's a certain lack of precision involved in using simple one-word tags--like which Lance are we talking about? (Though this is great for discovery, e.g. hot or Edmonton)  * And, of course, there's no heirarchy and the content types (bookmarks, photos) are fairly simple.  Still, the idea of socially constructed classification schemes (with no input from an information architect) is interesting. Maybe one of these services will manage to build a social thesaurus.
