Very.
I guess my question is this. What makes our tagging 'difficult', while
tagging in other applications (eg. Flickr) it is almost universally
used?
Perhaps we should make tagging files compulsory via the web, rather than
taking it away. Just a thought...
I agree with much of what you're saying, I just don't want to see us
losing something that could be very valuable in the future. Perhaps we
need to make the benefits of tagging more visible (eg. using a tag cloud
somewhere) to encourage people to do more of it?
