Taxonomies, Folksonomies & Controlled Vocabularies
Gilbane Report Blog — “There is an enlightening discussion going on between Lou Rosenfeld, Clay Shirky and others on the utility of folksonomies as used by Flickr and del.icio.us, vs. subject-matter-expert developed taxonomies. As one of the commenters has pointed out, this is not an “either/or” issue.”

I like Peter Merholz’s comments too. Read what he says:
Mob indexing? Folk categorization? Social tagging?
BTW, I’m going to stop using “Read more…” in favor of more desriptive links. I know that “Read the posting…” isn’t much better, but still, it is better. Thoughts?

In this case, I’d say hyperlink the words “Gilbane Report Blog.”
