Share your thoughts about tagging. Is tagging a useful way to organize your digital resources and why?
Tagging is very useful of course for finding resources again. It's nice because it's a keyword search and there are so many possibilities in the way you can categorize them.
What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages?
The fact that there are so many different terms people can use to categorize is both an advantage and a disadvantage. You never know what terms other people might use to classify a topic. I guess that's where multiple tags comes in.
What is important to think about before assigning tags to bookmarks or other Internet content?
I think you want to make sure to use multiple tags so it can be useful as a social networking tool and go beyond using labels only you might think about.
One of the things that interests me the most about all the web 2.0 applications we have learned about so far is the generous nature of all the contributors to freely share ideas and information with each other. It's pretty amazing.
