Difference Between Taxonomy and Folksonomy

Anthony — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 10:45:50 +0000

A client asked me an interesting question the other day: what’s the difference between Taxonomy and Folksonomy? So I thought I’d be a good Samaritan and share my answer. Firstly, Taxonomy and Folksonomy are common place on the web as tags – tags are keywords that describe data. Content creators and consumers add tags to describe their data. The difference between taxonomy and folksonomy lies in who adds the tags to the data.

Taxonomy

Taxonomy tags are added by the content creator or author. Most typical blogs will have a tag cloud – this is a good example of a Taxonomy.

Folksonomy

Folksonomy tags are added by the consumer or reader (not the content creator). So Flickr keywords – where the user can add their own tags / keywords describing a photo – is a good example of a Folksonomy.

IE9 Beta Available For Download

Anthony — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 12:03:41 +0000

Our approach to building a faster web browsing platform, as seen in the Platform Previews, involves using everything the PC and its hardware have to offer. Before IE9, browsers used perhaps 10% of the PC’s capability. IE9 has shown the clear performance benefits with full hardware-acceleration of webpages.

Our approach in designing a site-centric web browsing experience also involves using everything available around the browser. We see all the pixels and code that people need for a significantly better browsing experience already there on the screen. The beta of Internet Explorer 9, available now at www.BeautyOfTheWeb.com in 33 languages, reflects this unique approach. Original Post
