I agree, although one can always find second-order wrinkles on it -- Flickr will let me add tags to my friends' images, and even in del.icio.us I may be tagging things for others' purposes because I hope others will see what I tag through "social browsing" or via a del.icio.us-powered sidebar in my blog. One of the great strengths of these simple tools is that people can use them for unanticipated purposes. Very good (paraphrased) quote from Joshua Schacter.

(And, unfortunately, not enough people have read the Polar Bear book!) But, IA is a discipine evolving with the web, and many of the interesting qualities of what is now being called folksonomy have been an evolving part of IA's focus since the beginning of the web. From what I've seen online, I also was surpirsed by the quality of re-action to folksonomy at the IASummit. But, it seems like folks there felt it was the time and place, within the IA community, to talk about IA's ongoing role beyond some of the specific hype around folksonomy.
