Posting from You’re It reviewing the past year in tags
I recommend reading the summary of the year’s activity in tags as written by Gene Smith at You’re It. Very interesting. It helps to set things in perspective for me. Probably the most compelling piece in this post is a quote from Tim Bray (I wish I had the source of it but don’t):
“Are tags useful? Are there any questions you want to ask, or jobs you want to do, where tags are part of the solution, and clearly work better than old-fashioned search? I really want to believe that tagging is big, a game-changer, but the longer I go on asking this question and not getting an answer, the more nervous I get.”
