Folksonomy and the Tag Cloud
For our astute readers, you may remember I had commented some time ago about our tags on this site self-organizing. Well, I thought it was time I followed up a bit for those who have nothing better to do than read up on the latest psycho-social web design/usage trends.
First, here is a great link to Folksonomy at Wikipedia:

Second, and only related if you are given to philosophizing (see chapter 5 at this link):

Next, would be Jeffrey Zeldman's (very popular web design guru) views on the tag cloud:

The bottom-line:
We will not have subfolders anyplace other than under your own user folder; after all it's your folder, so do what you like. I use them in mine. Please learn to use and love tags and we will all live happily ever after.
