[eim][misc] Tagging rises
Posted on:: June 13th, 2013
Both Facebook and Apple have announced the use of tags. Yay!
Tags have continued to percolate through the ecosystem after their most auspicious introduction in Delicious.com. (Note the phrase “most auspicious”; tags have always been with us.) It’s great to see them increase both because they are a great way to get use out of the craziness while preserving it in its original form for others, and because there is great value in scaling tags, as Flickr has shown.
So, yay for tags. And yay for the crazy.
