Thing 13 Tagging

Like a sign out of hell the first words in my tab (after I clicked on the Wikipedia Tag page) said Metadata. It is like my professor was slapping across my face and telling me to get to work on Draft 2. Did it work? No. I would like to procrastinate a few more minutes!

I like the idea of tagging. I wish there had been one of those cool videos that we have seen on the other Things available. And, I am wondering if the labels that I add at the bottom of each post is the same thing as tagging. Feel free to respond and let me know! Tagging is another form of classification which is certainly affecting those of us in the library field. However, the fact that natural language is used could be a problem. Tagging to entice unknowing visitors could take place as well. For example, tagging a site "White House" and then it is really a porn site. That is a way that the lesser of our society can get people onto their sites.

Speaking of evil, better get back to work on Draft 2.
