Public Sticky notes
There is a revolution happening on the Internet that is alive and building momentum with each passing tag. With the advent of social software and Web 2.0, we usher in a new era of Internet order. One in which the user has the power to effect their own online experience, and contribute to others’. Today, users are adding metadata and using tags to organize their own digital collections, categorize the content of others and build bottom-up classification systems. The wisdom of crowds, the hive mind, and the collective intelligence are doing what heretofore only expert catalogers, information architects and website authors have done. They are categorizing and organizing the Internet and determining the user experience, and it’s working. No longer do the experts have the monopoly on this domain; in this new age users have been empowered to determine their own cataloging needs. Metadata is now in the realm of the Everyman.

For taggers, it’s not about the right or the wrong way to categorize something and it’s not about accuracy or authority, it’s about remembering

olksonomies include everyone’s vocabulary and reflect everyone’s needs without cultural, social, or political bias.

he long tail, a phrase first discussed by Chris Anderson of Wired Magazine, consists of the interests of the minority that lie at the “tail” end of a power law, or statistical distribution, which charts the most popular topics.

Because of the lack of synonym control, a folksonomy search will not effect a complete results list because of the use of similar tags.
