Tagging is an excellent all-round introduction to tagging and user-generated information management. It covered everything I needed to quickly pick up the topic and provided me with some useful pointers where to go next.

I really enjoyed reading this book, in many ways it seemed to be written for me. It starts explaining what tags are, goes through explaining what the value of tags are and how they link to taxonomies and folksonomies, it concludes with discussions of design and implementation. All this is supplemented by some good case studies. While all these things are of interest to me, I do wonder how wide the potential readership is of people who want to read a combination of socio-technical issues, which includes several pages of PHP/MySQL code.

I've just decided to edit the review, so I could add the information: that one of the systems mentioned is Amazon's tagging system and I have just used that to tag this review.
