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.

To get the most out of Friendfeed you do have to put more into it than just feeding your stuff in and reading others' stuff. Like the blogosphere, it helps enormously if you actually comment on items. Tags: friendfeed guest blogging. Here’s how it works: the moderator starts a post. Did I mention real time? If not, why not?
