Tom Coates has written a very clear exposition of PhoneTags, the BBC experiment in tagging songs by sending SMS’s when thyey are played on the radio.
CommerceNet Labs hosts a weekly talk series at their offices in downtown Palo Alto; one upcoming event is a presentation by Nitin Borwankar, author of the recently-launched Tagschema weblog. His talk focuses on database architecture styles for highly scalable folksonomy applications. We also expect to follow up on discussions of a potential open-source platform for experimenting with tags that came up during Q&A at the last TagTuesday meeting. We will also be going out for dinner afterwards with all and sundry who can make it… Please see the event listing at the CommerceNet site for directions and more.
“Folksonomy applications generate orders of magnitude greater data items than previous generation (Web 1.0) applications.
However, prevalent practice in folksonomy database design appears not to have registered the implications of this on scalability
of the backend. Logical design of the database schema is a strong determinant of the scalability.
We examine entities and relationships that form the core of tagschema, comparing and contrasting these with older patterns
still in use. We also look at how to these interact with physical design in building the next generation tagging platform.”
One of the problems with tagging is that its so cool that everyone’s doing it. This means that there’s no way for people to keep track of all the different tagging sites out there.
So, in order to keep track of all the tagging sites out there, we (Eran and I) have built Supr.c.ilio.us, the World’s First Social Social Tagging Site Tagging Site.
Come tag the taggers.

Back in April, I attended the Microsoft Social Computing Symposium, which included some coverage of tags. That page has links to presentations that only work in IE6 - direct links to Windows media files for:
David Weinberger’s ‘From Trees to Tags’
Kevin Marks reporting back on the Tags Birds of a feather discussion
Last week at Where 2.0 I was chatting with Chris Pirillo about tags and microformats, when he produced a pair of microphones and started recording.

I got a lot out of the first Tag Tuesday, and met lots of people with interesting ideas. As requested, here are the slides I projected on the ceiling.
Eran Globen took good notes on me and Stewart speaking down by the bay, before tsunami warnings broke the meeting up.
