Bokardo » Blog Archive » Web2Con: Popularity Decay in Tagging
"The idea of popularity decay illustrates the tension between new ideas and popular ideas. Both are valuable, but not at the expense of the other." I like this idea of tags evolving over time. Not sure about the implementations he cites.

Why Is Tagging So Hard?
"So TypePad is faced with the fact that many of their users want Web 2.0 style integration and they need to build it themself. That's a lot of work without much benefit to them."

Posting, Subscribing, and Tagging
I think we're only seeing the beginning of a larger explosion in interactivity and that these actions are a just the tip of the iceberg. This is definitely a more digestible hierarchy for understanding how people bahave with content.
