The Cross Blog Discussion of the NpTechTag has generated some comments and blog posts that I've summarized below. How are they different from taxonomies? Gavin's post does a great job explaining the definitions and the advantages of a taxonomy over a folksonomy. Sort of an emergent taxonomy.

Obviously, it ain't no taxonomy and it shouldn't substitute for one. Write a blog post reflecting on these questions and tag it with NpTech and we will summarize the key points. I'm an information addict. I'm constantly looking for information related to work and I a big bookmarker. Do you read the summaries?

For this week's bloggerview, we caught up with Michael Gilbert, who writes the Nonprofit Online News, which is not only the oldest nonprofit-oriented blog, but one of the oldest blogs altogether.

is a social bookmarking tool. I had used " Back Flip " back 3-4 years ago when I needed a web-based bookmark tool to publish my bookmarks from the semi-defunct Arts Wire Spiderschool. So, I was curious to see how bookmarking tools have evolved. For those of you are not ubergeeks ( I'm not ), del.icio.us

There was also a look at the differences between spurl, furl, and delicious in terms of clusters, related tags, bookmarking widgets, private tags, etc. Fabulous: Tagging allows you to categorize information without being forced to use a pre-determined vocabulary and allows other to easily contribute content.
