Flickr, Delicious, Technorati and many others have all featured a tag cloud at some point in their history. However, it is unclear whether the tag cloud is actually useful as an aid to finding information. We conducted an experiment, giving participants the option of using a tag cloud or a traditional search interface to answer various questions. We found that where the information-seeking task required specific information, participants preferred the search interface. Conversely, where the information-seeking task was more general, participants preferred the tag cloud. While the tag cloud is not without value, it is not sufficient as the sole means of navigation for a folksonomy-based dataset. }, author = {Sinclair, James and Cardew-Hall, Michael}, doi = {10.1177/0165551506078083}, eprint = {http://jis.sagepub.com/cgi/reprint/34/1/15.pdf}, interhash = {9781d30a620fe81d1b6b6b06925393ab}, intrahash = {1cc0b296c0af7c80feea7b3bb1bf825c}, journal = {Journal of Information Science}, number = 1, pages = {15-29}, title = {{The folksonomy tag cloud: when is it useful?}}, url = {http://jis.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/34/1/15}, volume = 34, year = 2008 } @misc{Bollen2009, abstract = { Most tagging systems support the user in the tag selection process by providing tag suggestions, or recommendations, based on a popularity measurement of tags other users provided when tagging the same resource. In this paper we investigate the influence of tag suggestions on the emergence of power law distributions as a result of collaborative tag behavior. Although previous research has already shown that power laws emerge in tagging systems, the cause of why power law distributions emerge is not understood empirically. The majority of theories and mathematical models of tagging found in the literature assume that the emergence of power laws in tagging systems is mainly driven by the imitation behavior of users when observing tag suggestions provided by the user interface of the tagging system. This imitation behavior leads to a feedback loop in which some tags are reinforced and get more popular which is also known as the `rich get richer' or a preferential attachment model. We present experimental results that show that the power law distribution forms regardless of whether or not tag suggestions are presented to the users. Furthermore, we show that the real effect of tag suggestions is rather subtle; the resulting power law distribution is `compressed' if tag suggestions are given to the user, resulting in a shorter long tail and a `compressed' top of the power law distribution. The consequences of this experiment show that tag suggestions by themselves do not account for the formation of power law distributions in tagging systems. }, author = {Bollen, Dirk and Halpin, Harry}, interhash = {280a97ee745f4e0409cf031a1b7ea247}, intrahash = {07fe71c72f4fe79cb5a16f53048e0abe}, note = {cite arxiv:0903.1788 }, title = {The Role of Tag Suggestions in Folksonomies}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/0903.1788}, year = 2009 } @inproceedings{heymann2008social, abstract = {In this paper, we look at the "social tag prediction" problem. Given a set of objects, and a set of tags applied to those objects by users, can we predict whether a given tag could/should be applied to a particular object? We investigated this question using one of the largest crawls of the social bookmarking system del.icio.us gathered to date. For URLs in del.icio.us, we predicted tags based on page text, anchor text, surrounding hosts, and other tags applied to the URL. We found an entropy-based metric which captures the generality of a particular tag and informs an analysis of how well that tag can be predicted. We also found that tag-based association rules can produce very high-precision predictions as well as giving deeper understanding into the relationships between tags.

At the same time of tagging-based system, has been popularised an interface model for visual information retrieval known as Tag-Cloud. In this model, the most frequently used tags are displayed in alphabetical order.
