My interest in social bookmarks has led me to a new technical term: folksonomy. Basically, taxonomy by a bunch of folks. Or, for the techies, "a practice of collaborative categorization using simple tags in a flat namespace". Wow, I haven't had this much fun with technical lingo since my college math days, when I translated a German article on "Non-Archimedian Vector Spaces"....
Anyhow, I'm not quite sure where my interest in this social software stuff is going, but it's quite interesting. Here are some more articles about the subject: Slashdot | Folksonomies In Del.icio.us and Flickr.
