Another point of view on tagging, from PC-Mag's John Dvorak:

'Enter yet another more baffling attempt at tagging. This one is
fascinating since it's been gussied up with a new name, and for some
unknown reason been given the blessing of a bunch of brain-dead bloggers.
This is because a few of the favorite sites that the bloggers love have
tacitly approved of the so-called—get this—"folksonomy tags." Oh, a new
term! This one is a laugh riot, since there is nothing new here except the
new name: Folksonomy. I mean even in HTML there was the "metatag." '
