CNN.com - 'Tagging' helps unclutter data - May 3, 2005

Non-library world discovers cataloging! You mean you can assign keywords to certain things and make them easier to find in a computer? Amazing! ;-)

CNN.com - 'Tagging' helps unclutter data - May 3, 2005: "Here's how we tend to organize our digital photos: We stick them into a folder on our computer and label it 'Hawaii trip,' or whatever.
Here's a new way: Forget folders or albums. Just 'tag' the photos based on what's actually in each frame.
Now, extrapolate this concept to the ideas, images, videos -- and people -- you meet or wish to find online. If they're properly tagged, they're far easier to find."
