Tagalicious
Brian Dear suggests “Taggle” as a future site that would let us type in a keyword and get back all the pages that use that word as a tag. And in the comments people suggest links to a whole bunch of interesting tag work.
I think I’ll do a long-overdue issue of my newsletter, Joho, on taxonomies vs. tags. All the cool kids are doing tags, you know. But I’m so wrapped up now in researching the Feb. issue of Esther Dyson’s newsletter, that I may not get to it. And what’s the topic of that Feb. issue? Taxonomies and tags! That’s also (roughly) the topic of the book I’m working on. As the saying goes, when all you have is a <entity type=”tool” field=”carpentry”>hammer</entity>, everything looks like a <entity type=”fastener” field=”carpentry” driver=”hammer”>nail</entity>.

Perhaps you might find
Folksonomies on Slashdot: revised, restated and summarized useful. Might Folksonomies be the meme of the year?
I have the domain “tagsonomy.com,” trying to figure out what to do with it. Maybe I should talk to Brian. *8^)

David — you *must* speak to Shimon Rura, who developed a cool thing you’ll want to see called Wixonomy (wiki+taxonomy). Shimon runs Frassle, a mindbending blogging system in which everything is an entry — the post, the comment on the post, and the posts in your aggregator — and lets you remix them in interesting ways.
See frassle.rura.org.
Shimon is a regular at the Thursday blog meetings, too.
David, you don’t seem busy enough with this ;-), so you might also check out the papers listed in this post on Danny Ayers Raw blog.
