Folksonomies are more about browsing than finding and a great deal of information can be found in this way.Also, folksonomies are created by users. This makes them relatively cheap and highly scalable, unlike more formal methods of adding metadata. Often users find that it is not a case of ‘folksonomy or professional classification’ but ‘folksonomy or nothing’. Futhermore, folksonomies is created from community and feedback. The creation process is quick and responsive to user needs, new words can become well used in days. I think content majorly determines the structure of Folksonomies. Because the users themselves selecte the categorization they wish to attach to their articles.
