After 30 seconds of thought I imagined that profiles would be wiki pages that anyone could edit, with comments for resolving edit wars. Does that seem plausible? Even if we can't satisfy everyone on what a tag means, individuals don't have to follow the collective folksonomy. If I apply 'programming languages' but the community prefers 'programming language', my tag still exists. It's just less salient because it's just me voting for it. What do you think?Agreeing on and articulating what a tag is for sounds dangerously close to moderation. Who decides? Does the first person to use a tag have some autonomy?
If I use a tag one way, but lots of other people use it after me in a different way, do they get priority?
