Adam Crowe"Folksonomies are akin to a personal semantic web, where one is giving up a broadly used structure that works fairly well globally and needs a lot of work for one that works darn well personally with much less work."

Lambert Heller"controlled vocabularies often miss out on input from content authors and become rigid (...); folksonomies will begin to break down for the reasons mentioned above. Treating them as major parts of a single metada ecology might expose a useful symbiosis"

Initially, I was only influenced by my own tags when adding a new link, so it really wasn't social software as far as I was using it. The Del.icio.us now has a new interface which points out the most commonly used tags by other people for links, so the social influence is climbing, and I think that will lead to an improved taxonomy for my own site: I can get a better feel for what category/tag others would consider a link, so I can make it easier to find. It becomes a form of user-feedback.
-
In fact, it's exciting to consider how these two approaches might fit together and function as a whole. Neither works especially well on its own: controlled vocabularies often miss out on input from content authors and become rigid, stale, and distant from the vernacular of users; folksonomies will begin to break down for the reasons mentioned above.

John BanburyLately, you can't surf information architecture blogs for five minutes without stumbling on a discussion of folksonomies (there; it happened again!)
