Adam Bosworth was at both Etech and PC Forum and he has some interesting insights and fears. What’s most interesting to me = is how similar my thoughts are on the same subjects.

As long as we don’t let the ontologists take over and tell us why tags are all wrong, need to be classified into domains, and need to be systematized, this is going to work well albeit, sloppily. What it does is open up ways to find things related to anything interesting you’ve found and navigate not a web of links but a link of tags.

I just hope that Group tags come into vogue, as well as shared clouds of tags. I also can’t help but get excited over mixing and matching the ways we use tags = with the same tags.

And tags have the opportunity of bridging between different universes of micro-content - connecting events, with people, media or reviews.

If you think trackback and ping services are cool - wait till we aggregate Dim Sim from Yahoo Groups, EVDB events, Tribe Peoplewebs and various food blogs and forums. Talk about multi-demensional!
