From KimberlyAnna: “For MS to really fix SP and not just do their usual marketing fix, won’t they need to move to a tag/search model where information is free flowing based on need?”

Did you guys pay attention to the FAST / SharePoint announcement about a month ago?

SharePoint is moving to a tag / search model in vNext. One of the best features of FAST is that it can parse metadata / tags from any document, including Office, therefore eliminating the need to train the end user to tag content. The end user can append tags if necessary.
