Personal Tagging

Folksonomy

• Folksonomy is the result of personal free tagging of pages and objects for one’s own retrieval

• The tagging is usually done in a social environment (shared and open to others)

• The act of tagging is done by the person consuming the information

Delightful User

Personal shared video annotations made the video searchable, relevant moments

identifiable, and broke it into smaller chunks.

Remixing

Annotation and tagging bring things not only into a personal perspective…

But, connect a new understanding to one that exists, that we know.

Thank you!
