WEB: Just Plain Folksonomy

Tags are a brilliantly simple outgrowth of the ever evolving organic web. If you haven't visited Flickr, de.licio.us, or Technocrati take a stroll and discover the joy of tags. Not only does tagging alow users to label and find information in an intuitive way, it also allows them to invest in the site content and brand in a more meaningful way. Is this the future of web site organization and navigation? Why should you care? Well, creating a richer web experience for the user (value!!!) is the key to a successful online presence.

Hmmm...Who is going to be the multi-issue content-producing membership organization that steps up, embraces membership driven tagging and social bookmarking, and rides off into the web sunset with a caravan of happy members?
