"we discovered regularities in user activity, tag frequencies, kinds of tags used, bursts of popularity in bookmarking and a remarkable stability in the relative proportions of tags within a given url. We also present a dynamical model of collaborative ta
"This study surveyed the folksonomy as a complex network. The result indicates that the network, which is composed of the tags from the folksonomy, displays both properties of small world and scale-free."
"Of particular interest are its application to categorizing content in developing fields, and allowing the navigation of content sets by browsing. (...) social aspects and implications of these community-created systems are also of great significance"
Tag Descriptions allow you to describe your tags for yourself and others visiting your bookmarks...simply go to your tag page. From this page you should see a link called "create tag description". Clicking this link pops up the interface for creating a Ta
Diigo is about "Social Annotation", a superset of social bookmarking. We believe that the social annotation service provided by Diigo can really enhance your experience for online browsing and interactions, and for information gathering and sharing.
"The future co-existence of controlled vocabularies and collaborative tagging is predicted, with each appropriate for use within distinct information contexts: formal and informal."

This study examines the question of whether tags can be useful in the process of information retrieval. Participants were asked to search a social bookmarking tool specialising in academic articles (CiteULike) and an online journal database (Pubmed) in order to determine if users found tags were useful in their search process. The actions of each participants were captured using screen capture software and they were asked to describe their search process. The preliminary study showed that users did indeed make use of tags in their search process, as a guide to searching and as hyperlinks to potentially useful articles. However, users also made use of controlled vocabularies in the journal database.
"we have to (...) merge and leverage emerging and traditional tools to improve findability. (...) at the intersection of those two models is a more powerful framework for identifying, sharing, and finding information. The goal is a metadata ecology"
