Why I like to play in tagged information spaces?
Miss Rogue of horsepigcow posted a number of reasons why she tagged and I thought I would provide my own reasons:
1. To be the first to tag (what I define as egotagging)
2. To let others know about my thesis research, papers, and presentations (e.g. my tagging talk at northern voice)
3. To share cool stuff found with the tagging community
4. To be part of a greater whole (e.g. Ministry of Reshelving project)
5. To remember interesting URLs, papers, blog entries (e.g. Social Bookmarking Tools (I))
6. To better organise my life and minimise information overload
7. To help foster on online identity
