If you're designing a tagging system for a web site, this is probably a good book for you. I was hoping for a more information theory-centric perspective, so I mostly skimmed through this book. (  ) aneqrs | Feb 14, 2009 |  Clear and comprehensive. (  ) DonnaCo | Oct 19, 2008 | I loved the straight forward way in which this book both talks about and illustrates on the topic of tagging ( ) grantventer | Oct 5, 2008 | A quick easy read with a very straightforward, lucid presentation. The book was probably more valuable to me for the references to various sites and tools that I was not familiar with. Since I'm not a web designer, the most detailed chapter was lost on me. But to get an overall view of the design decisions to be made and the ways people use tagging, the book was very worthwhile. (  ) tgraettinger | Jul 31, 2008 | Good Intro on the subject of tags and tagging systems. Clear discussion of the benefits and the possible "gotcha's" ( ) warkruid | Jun 29, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0321529170, Paperback)Tagging is fast becoming one of the primary ways people organize and manage digital information. Tagging complements traditional organizational tools like folders and search on users desktops as well as on the web. These developments mean that tagging has broad implications for information management, information architecture and interface design. And its reach extends beyond these technical domains to our culture at large. We can imagine, for example, the scrapbookers of the future curating their digital photos, emails, ticket stubs and other mementos with tags. This book explains the value of tagging, explores why people tag, how tagging works and when it can be used to improve the user experience. It exposes tagging's superficial simplicity to reveal interesting issues related to usability, information architecture, online community and collective intelligence.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:56 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
