Folksonomies are spreading. A survey from December 2006 has found that 28% of internet users in the US have tagged or categorized content online, such as photos, news stories or blog posts. On a typical day, 7% of the users say they tag or categorize online content.
Taggers are classic early adopters. They are likely to be under 40 and have higher levels of education and income.
The survey was carried out by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
