[...] Visualizing time trends in how a site is tagged on del.icio.us: cloudalicious Filed under Folksonomy, Bookmarks, Social Software, Semantic web by paolo The previous entry was about “powerlaws in the use of tags on del.icio.us”. Then at http://del.icio.us/tag/powerlaw, i found Pietro Speroni’s great post Tagclouds and cultural changes that (also) introduces cloudalicious, a one-night project of Terrell Russell. Cloudalicious shows the evolution in time of the tags used to tag any page on del.icio.us. Very very cool!!! I tried to find a URL that was showing a non-converging behaviour but I failed. (Pietro was already providing some examples of sites presenting interesting trends in tags use.) Are your able to find at least one controversial URL? A site for which there was a great swift in time in the tags used for it. For your information, I already tried with sites tagged on del.icio.us under controversial tags (such as abortion, scientology, jew), I tried with microsoft.com (as I was thinking may people would have tagged it as evil but this is not the case [in general people tend to tag what they like and less what they don’t like in order not to increase the visibility of it, so I tried with “terri schiavo blog” that was very visible for a short period of time and I was suspecting the “tasteless” or “awful” tags were much more and growing over time but this is not the case]). The only one with a little bit of variance over time I was able to find is boingboing.net. See cloudalicious for http://boingboing.netDel.icio.users seem to recognize it as a news site as time passes by. And it also seems that Del.icio.users are moving from “blogs” to “blog” as tag (common pattern or just for boingboing?). There is some variance also with http://del.icio.us itself: see cloudalicious for http://del.icio.us So I just repeat the small challenge: Can you find a URL that presents non-converging tags use?

[...] There are some interesting exceptions to this relative stability, and Pietro Speroni comments on some interesting cultural factors which appear to be at work in the tagging pattern of some sites, resulting in interesting changes in the usage of particular tags. But in spite of his optimistic “Change, change everywhere” conclusion, the relative number of sites which are dominated by stability is unknown. I have looked at quite a few, and have very rarely seen such interesting “cultural patterns”. Clearly we need some real data if this turns out to be an important question. [...]

tagging – blog entries

Notes on blog entries about tagging: Ian Davis: Why Tagging is Expensive (September 7, 2005) “Tagging bulldozes the cost of classification and piles it onto the price of discovery.” Formal classification takes a lot of time – tagging overrides that,…

TagSurf: It’s Tagalicious!

Stumbled onto Tagsurf today, while reading several weighty papers (Clay Shirky and Pietro Speroni) about the different ways people are trying to use tags, the value of tagclouds, and the way that tags associated with a post change (normalize, mature?)…
