These readings opened my eyes because before all I ever knew about metadata was that it was tags embedded into digital files (ex.location of where you took a picture). But after reading chapter 4 I agree we should let go of folksonomy. All I’ve ever known was keyword search because I thought it made sense to search up pages/articles that include the words I’m looking for. But many times I’ve been led on a goose chase where I was getting results for something unrelated to my subject but because the “keywords” were there it made it’s way to my results. We do a form of metadata now called hash-tagging. I think this system sort of provides more efficient results because the content is self categorized (or tagged) using the “#” key. So instead of looking up words you can look up topics, subjects, etc.
