Ontology Is Overrated: Social advantages in tagging

Email This Entry

Posted by Hylton Jolliffe

Clay Shirky provides an intro and pointer to his latest essay "Ontology Is Overrated: Social advantages in tagging."

Says Clay: "Though much of it is not about social software per se, I try to extend the argument that the 'people infrastucture' hidden in traditional classification systems is an Achilles' heel for systems that have to operate at internet scale, and that the logic of tagging overcomes that weakness."
