Art of Tagging: a manual of style
This is a wiki, inspired by a conversation in the Delicious forums. Please edit these pages, create new ones, and invite others to contribute.
Mission: to collaboratively document the best practices of tagging.
Outline
"tags are not a classification system or metadata. they're user interface designed around the way your memory and intuition are about. It's about choosing a keyword that you are likely to remember about that item (remember, prospective recall.) Metadata is a fine thing, and I wanted to have the ability to add multiple sets of domains' field values. But it is different from tagging."1
- Joshua Schachter, Founder of Delicious
