61. folksonomy, redefines web navigation.
In addition, if Del.icio.us could aggregate the
bookmarks over all users, they could come up with a

population actually valued and referred to the
content.
technorati, google blog search and others are
aggregating this folksonomy information and creating
a web of relationships.
