This post, by David Weinberger, offers wonderful insights on the pros and cons of folksonomies. Although much is said about the bottom-up, emergent properties of folksonomies, I’m still quite skeptical about the current state of folksonomy implementations. Decentralizing to these extremes always has its limits. Weinberger in his post lists some of these limits. I would add the phenomenon of the ‚long tail‘ and ‚information cascades‘ to his list. http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/003836.html
