Issues
-Consistency
People don’t all tag the same way
-you can clarify and establish tags for people within a
connected group – but the public is out of your scope)
-Information overload could exist during a “popular”
search for a much-used term
-Spam
People will often bookmark products they wish to
promote or sell which further clutters the pool
-Privacy
You can mark a particular items (or all) as
private, but, of course, the aim is to share
