Is Tagging Popular?
Sure is!
The latest Pew Internet and American Life report on tagging shows that:
"Just as the internet allows users to create and share their own media, it is also enabling them to organize digital material their own way, rather than relying on pre-existing formats of classifying information.
A December 2006 survey has found that 28% of internet users have tagged or categorized content online such as photos, news stories or blog posts. On a typical day online, 7% of internet users say they tag or categorize online content."
28% is a lot. And they know they're tagging too.
