- There's a fundamental difference doing folksonomy within Drupal from del.icio.us. Probably, only the author (and admins) can apply terms to a
And then suggest:
There's a potential issue here with "tag spam". A malicious user might tag a node with all the most popular terms. That node will then appear
While I certainly don't want to suggest this discussion is irrelevant, I think it's fair to say that every node of a Drupal site has a much better chance of being viewed by some sort of admin than an open-ended system like delicious. I think the biggest problem with "tag spam" and a Drupal site would be if we allowed commenters to insert tags - ignoring that, it's a safe bet that tag spam in a community-oriented site like Drupal (as opposed to, IMO, a service-oriented site like delicious) would be more easily seen and addressed. -- Morbus Iff ( cheese and rice saves ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
