Thing 13 Tagging Folksonomies and Social Bookmarking

Tagging seems like a very handy Web2.0 tool. Being able to quickly access websites that I have stowed away and then be able to share them with others definitely has its merits. I can see how favorites can be easily shared. I really like the feature of the tag clouds because it gives me options. I have seen library catalogs and demonstations where tag clouds help in the research like a spring board. For example, one presentation that i witnessed at ALA used Reeses' Peanut Butter cups as the starting point and then deviated into legumes, and then the more scientific latin terms which then led to agriculture and farming. Visually very interesting!
