  • The one major idea behind the Del.icio.us Lesson is that personal value precedes network value. What this means is that if we are to build networks of value, then each person on the network needs to find value for themselves before they can contribute value to the network. In the case of Del.icio.us, people find value saving their personal bookmarks first and foremost. All other usage is secondary.

     
  • Meta keyword tags provide no personal value whatsoever. All of their value is social. They’re for aggregation engines to find and tell other people about. In other words, they’re for getting attention only. Del.icio.us tags, on the other hand, provide personal value each time someone uses them to recall a bookmark.

  • Joshua hits as always the point with its The Del.icio.us Lesson where he says that “Personal Value Precedes Network Value”. That is, people don’t tag to make the world better! People don’t collaborate to enhance the system value, to produce useful content or to help others to find interesting articles. Tagging is only a side-effect.

  • f users could tag their own bookmarks and navigate to them through a direct tag-based interface, then there was really no need for an overarching, expert-developed taxonomy. In addition, if Del.icio.us could aggregate the bookmarks over all users, they could come up with a folksonomy for everybody, based on how the total population actually valued and referred to the content.

  • Blinded by the Aggregation Light

  • Real people, in contrast, tag for their own benefit. And they surely won’t tag if the incentive to do so isn’t clear.

  • “is the tagging revolution stuck?“. This is a common question these days, as the number of services trying to leverage tagging skyrockets.
