"There’s been some excellent IA discussion lately on the concept of “social classification” (aka “folksonomy” aka “ethnoclassification”). The concept pretty much is that if you have a bunch of people independently classifying a selection of resources, responding to other people’s classifications and perhaps altering their own classifications as a result—in aggregate, you might have something really useful."
