With the introduction of tagging in Web 2.0 tools I became excited about the infinite possibilities for classifying bits of information. I thought: "a dream come true." But now I am concerned by the ever expanding uniqueness of my terms and am drawn to learn more about taqxonomy, ontology, and folksonomies. I must confess, that as a folklorist, I consider folksonomy to be categories that are grounded in communities of members who understand the ways of the group. I wonder what the bloggers are saying. I wonder how they are thinking about folkonomies.
