Tagging is fast becoming one of the primary ways people organize and
manage digital information. Tagging complements traditional
organizational tools like folders and search on users desktops as well
as on the web. These developments mean that tagging has broad
implications for information management, information architecture and
interface design. And its reach extends beyond these technical domains
to our culture at large. We can imagine, for example, the scrapbookers
of the future curating their digital photos, emails, ticket stubs and
other mementos with tags. This book explains the value of tagging,
explores why people tag, how tagging works and when it can be used to
improve the user experience. It exposes tagging's superficial simplicity
to reveal interesting issues related to usability, information
architecture, online community and collective intelligence.
