Tagging, Folksonomy Catching On

Wired has an interesting article on tagging or folksonomy that jibes with what users of Ideascape have been doing for some time now. So, we have decided to flip on a partial view of external tagging, so folks can see how it works in Ideascape. You can also register for free to see the flip side on internal tagging.

As you may have noticed, there are lots of little checkered images scattered on the pages and posts at Advancing Insights. These are links to our del.icio.us tags. We thought it would be interesting if we demonstrated the power of smart tags so people who read entries on theses pages could visit our del.icio.us links on the subject to learn more about what Advancing Insights is discussing. So now, if we discuss idea management, open innovation, and collaboration there will be references to related posts from others on the subject that you can use to improve your understanding.
