			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Highlight</strong> &#8212; eWeek mentions <a  href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1777002,00.asp">how tags are turning web chaos into categories</a>. Or rather, how tags and folksonomies are turning categories into utter chaos.</p>
<p>Consider:</p>
<blockquote><p>One of the most popular tags created on the bookmarking service is &#034;to_read,&#034; a tag attached to links of pages users want to remember to read.</p>
<p>&#034;There is a behavior around tags that has nothing to do with categorization,&#034; Joshua Schachter [creator of <a  href="http://del.icio.us">del.icio.us</a>] said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Moreover:</p>
<blockquote><p>A user who travels to Tokyo might tag all photos from the trip as &#034;Tokyo,&#034; including those taken inside a hotel room, Stewart Butterfield [creator of <a  href="http://www.flickr.com">Ludicorp</a>] said. But other users might expect to see only photos of the Tokyo cityscape, and not a hotel&#039;s interior, when viewing photos tagged as Tokyo.</p></blockquote>
<p>Tags and folksonomies are just an over-hyped collective delusion. <a  href="/2005/02/04/why-rdf-and-the-semantic-web-are-ludicrous-ideas/">Just like the semantic web</a>.</p>
