After reading the response here, as well Elaine’s article and Dave’s response I just had to on my blog.

It seems to me that this is kind of a stale debate. Both sides just try to disprove the other at some point.

Elaine’s starting point was not a correct one since she failed to ask the one question that provide a clear distinction between Folksonomies and Taxonomies:What are we trying to do? Are we trying to catalog things for the sake of cataloging or are we trying to tag things for easier access.
