What’s interesting is that Django and Rails are in the “honorable mentions” section below! Yay for CakePHP. Feels good to get some good press, especially when we’re up there with some big players.

Congrats to the rest of the team, and especially the awesome community.

New Take on Folksonomies

Monday, November 20th, 2006

An interesting read at dlib.org that cuts through the buzz regarding folksonomies. Seems like a really nice take on how tagging gets really screwy when people come at indexing from different cultural, academic and even linguistic backgrounds.

I’m not sure where I stand on the issue, but here’s the most critical argument leveled at folksonomies:

Folksonomists are confusing cataloging structure with personal opinions and subsequent social bookmarking. These are not the same thing, and they need to be separated.

Case in point, how would you tag an article about the war in Iraq?
