These days, a growing number of sites whose content is user-created rely on tagging systems, also known as folksonomies, for added value. Flickr and the social-bookmarking site Delicious, along with Furl, are generally considered folksonomy trailblazers, but now sites like MetaFilter and the blog index Technorati have jumped on board, and more are expected to follow.
