than five million users and 150 million bookmarked URLs. It is
headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Folksonomy
 What is it?
 “Folk” + “Taxonomy”
 Grassroots approach to tagging and labeling
 Credited to Thomas VanderWaal
 Categorization not classification
 How do you use it?
 However you’d like….that’s why it works!
“A folksonomy represents simultaneously some
of the best and worst in the organization of
information.”

Tips to finding a missing site…
 Check very carefully that you have entered the site’s address
accurately.
 Wait a few moments and try the site again.
 Use a search engine and enter the name of the site (not the
URL)
 Trim the URL by eliminating elements of the address
starting at the right.
 Use the “Wayback Machine” at www.webdev.archive.org it
can retrieve archived websites with about a 75% success
rate.
