Product Description

Product Description
Tagging is fast becoming one of the primary ways people organize and manage digital information. Tagging complements traditional organizational tools like folders and search on users desktops as well as on the web. These developments mean that tagging has broad implications for information management, information architecture and interface design. And its reach extends beyond these technical domains to our culture at large. We can imagine, for example, the scrapbookers of the future curating their digital photos, emails, ticket stubs and other mementos with tags. This book explains the value of tagging, explores why people tag, how tagging works and when it can be used to improve the user experience. It exposes tagging's superficial simplicity to reveal interesting issues related to usability, information architecture, online community and collective intelligence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tagging: from philosophy to technology, 17 Aug 2008
By Shirley Williams (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed reading this book, in many ways it seemed to be written for me. It starts explaining what tags are, goes through explaining what the value of tags are and how they link to taxonomies and folksonomies, it concludes with discussions of design and implementation. All this is supplemented by some good case studies. While all these things are of interest to me, I do wonder how wide the potential readership is of people who want to read a combination of socio-technical issues, which includes several pages of PHP/MySQL code.

I've just decided to edit the review, so I could add the information: that one of the systems mentioned is Amazon's tagging system and I have just used that to tag this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction, 23 Dec 2008
By Phil (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Tagging is an excellent all-round introduction to tagging and user-generated information management. It covered everything I needed to quickly pick up the topic and provided me with some useful pointers where to go next.
