While I do believe - without equivocation - that tagging works for users (read: MY tags help ME), I'm merely optimistic that the aggregation of tags will benefit Internet users en masse (OTHERS' tags help ME). Time will tell on that one. Your comparison to the merits of taxonomies is a great one. Hi Joshua,

Thanks for your comment… While I do believe – without equivocation – that tagging works for users (read: MY tags help ME), I’m merely optimistic that the aggregation of tags will benefit Internet users en masse (OTHERS’ tags help ME). Time will tell on that one. Your comparison to the merits of taxonomies is a great one.

Although the early results seem really promising, I hope we don't oversell the merits of tagging as so many have oversold the merits of taxonomies.
