Wow, Alexandra's are in my blog this week! (I'm noticing lots of interesting spiderwebs of connections, but more on that when there aren't work tasks piling up). Alexandra Samuels posted a great piece on Tagging She keys in on the collaborative aspect... not just the taxonomic element.

"These early experiments reveal the pent-up demand for simple tools to support online collaboration. But they also reveal how tagging unlocks the gateway between information and community. By allowing people to share information effectively, tags create and support a growing number of online communities. And by bringing communities together around common interests, tags add value to the information those communities gather."

Take a gander. Alex will be talking about tagging at BlogHer in July. And oh, yeah, I better tag this post!
