Ontology of Folksonomy

http://tomgruber.org/writing/ontology-of-folksonomy.htm

A Mash-up of Apples and Oranges, by Tom Gruber: Ontologies are enabling technology for the Semantic Web. They are a means for people to state what they mean by formal terms used in data that they might generate or consume. Folksonomies are an emergent phenomenon of the social web. They are created as people associate terms with content that they generate or consume. Recently the two ideas have been put into opposition, as if they were right and left poles of a political spectrum.

Tag clouds are the new mullets

http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0405d.shtml

Like mood rings and fanny packs, like mullets and the Macarena, the weighted tag clouds meme popularized by Flickr and Technorati is about to cross a permanent cultural shame threshold. Jeffrey Zeldman, 19 April 2005.
