been looking into the updates that would be needed to support folksonomy in drupal, known as free tagging. i like the idea of letting the end user determine the vocabulary for entries. I looked at the [drupal support for tagging|http://drupal.org/node/20936]. it really needs it to allow end-user control over vocab. from the description of the features, though, it seems like it needs some work to add features. i'd like to get the [wordpress features jim described|https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/jamesphelps/web/WordPress/wordpress_folksonomy.html] because in order to use tags in a meaningful way, you really need to have a list of popular tags to choose from or reference.
there really are problems with tag usage. it's not the tag concept itself, just the general difficulty of discipline in data management. there's some good [comments on tagging in general|http://kika.trip.ee/node/198].
not that this should be automatic but a frustration is that even if i go through the trouble of including links in my posts, there is not a facility to collect all the urls from the site into a url list (structured like google, with cached content links available). this really needs to happen to make my data collection more meaningful.
