Just gone back to look at my first day's attempts at del.icio.us bookmarking. Interesting to see how quickly one can get into a tagging practice.

Hmmm - now that I have this whizzy linkroll it's tempting to look back on the actual process of tagging. This was my first day using del.icio.us - which at the time I was evaluating rather than 'using'. The first 2 postshave no extended text, and there's a duplicate entry, but otherwise it's striking that the tagging practices I evolved are clearly beginning even on the first day.

Mind you, I used to write proto-social bookmarking systems in the 90's, and have done a lot of social and personal resource cataloguing, so I guess it's no surprise that I had instincts for the kind of schema I would want to use. It'd be fun to go back over the months and days with a more serious eye for the evolution of tagging schemas - taking into account the evolution of the *uses* colleagues and clients began to make of my tagging. But then again, when am I going to find time to do that? :O)
