This document discusses how new technologies like tags, tagging, and folksonomies are distributing the future more evenly by allowing for more participation and resource discovery. It notes how tags provide an uncontrolled vocabulary that is subject to change and ambiguity but can still be statistically significant. The document also references several online services that employ these new technologies and participation methods.
