Your experience is being heard, I think (at least from what I can tell from the slides). I'm interested to know how the group attacks the problem going forward. Bud, thanks for the clarification about folksonomies and the presentation. I think you're right about getting real implementations, by which I assume you mean implementations where they replace more controlled solutions... I do know that the new Apple OS 10.4 will feature the spotlight technology, which will focus more on searching both keywords found within documents as well as tags within metadata. I think that might be an interesting test case...to see if people begin to move away from a physical hierarchy of folders and move toward a virtual hierarchy of tags.

Folksonomy was brought up *orally* and then I followed up with questions. Sort of a recent development for the IBM folks. I think they are trying to solve the issue that IBMer brings up in the previous comment. I agree with IBMer about the general intractability of intranets. The main issue is tracking someone else's organizational structure. Folksonomy might help by allowing personal organization. As I said before, the main issue in my mind is getting real implementations. Things like del.icio.us and flickr are tantalizing. Can we get them to do something where they prove their potential to improve processes. Josh, saw this over the weekend while I was at SXSW but did not see the comment form immediately.

I am one of the more savvy users in our office, and I get lost there all of the time. Often a search for simple information can lead to an hour-long trek. I don't know about taxonomies, but IBM has larded the site down with so much extraneous drivel that searching for useful information is painful.
