[Tagdb] Tag Planet?

[Philipp Keller]

Hi there..

Lately I read an (ahem) very positive remark about my blog: "Philipp's
writings offer what is badly needed in most blogs on
tagging/"folksonomy"/social software/"Web 2.0" issues: substance." [1]
and I stumbled on an article on 37signals about if we should put comas
or spaces to separate tags (and this article gained quite a bit of
popularity..), I thought: "don't we have more interesting things to talk
about?"

I think there's a lack of a point/website/rss-feed where the good
articles about tagging come together. Tagging has so many facettes that
are so interesting but it's a pity the good articles don't get as much
attention as they'd need. Plus: I don't want to miss the good articles
about tagging. I subscibed to 
del.icio.us/popular/tagging but it doesn't solve the problem.

Now, I thought about possible solutions:
1) A thing like Planet RDF [3]: A site that consists of posts from a few
blogs that concentrate on tagging. I suppose such sites are pretty
common..? The downside: bad signal/noise ratio
2) A clipping blog that is mostly fed with quotes from good articles and
small reviews about good tagging articles, sort of "why should you read
that article"
3) A common tag in del.icio.us or simpy (let's support the list
contributors) like for:lists.tagschema.

I think it would be important to have a shared knowledgebase. Not just a
single person thing, that's why I address this here on this list. On the
other hand I don't want to have the "tag kids" posting. I don't want to
be informed about the 1354th tagging-site's opening.

I like option 2) the best but option 3) would be the easiest one..

Do you have any suggestions?

greets
Philipp Keller
