After looking at the number of redundant tags (library, libraries, librarian, librarians, etc) on one blog, it makes me fully realise why Mr. Dewey decided to use a controlled vocabulary, instead of natural language, in his catalogue. The naming of things seems so random and disjointed. This is hell for those of us who hated "I'm thinking of a number between 1-50. Guess what it is?" as kids. One of the primary benefits is that slang, words spelled incorrectly and "bad words" are useful search terms. A disadvantage of course is trying to "guess" what tag to use to find what you are looking for.
Something that I find interesting, is the "Top Searches" while I was working on my assignment, 2 of the top searches were 7. Hilary Clinton and 9. Barack Obama.
Blue team:2
Red team:0
Of course, I have no idea what this means. Republicans don't write about who they want to be president in 08? Republicans don't search blogs? Democrats should stop writing and start VOTING? Democrats need to back away from their monitors and go outside where First Life (no dot com necessary) is happening even as you read this? These are questions best left for the philosphers of our time.
