"An Offering to the PHP Gods" Alexandra Samuel just coined a new word, bloggespondence , for the back and forth conversation we've been having about social bookmarking from our respective blogs. That's the term she gave JOTS in her response after reading my response to her answer to my initial question in the comments of this post.

This visual comes from Rashimi Sinha's essay on the question Why do people tag? For many, tagging is for sharing their own information and watching others. Even if you tag mostly to remember your own stuff, it is difficult to remain untouched by the presence of others. Will tags begin to converge ?

Future of Tagging ??? You might tag it with ???read_later,??? so those tags work well for you, but not necessarily the social system. The tags you use to describe something should be intuitive so you can recall the bookmark. You can assume, however, that someone will tag the item for how the group does it.???
