Web Tagging

Web Tagging

A method of assigning descriptive words and phrases to specific pieces of content such as pictures or articles in order to help find them again in the future

I have an idea for an essay that connects new services Twitter Lists and Gawker Forums. In one sense, these are merely extensions of tagging and folksonomies popularized by Flickr and Delicious. But there's something else going on here: tagging not just as taxonomy but as content generation.But I don't have time to write this essay, so someone please do it for me.(See also: Twitter, Outlines, Lists, Directories, Y!ou.)
