Tagging - Broken by design
by Kore Nordmann at Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:46:11 +0100
In the meantime tagging, as a folksonomy, is often nearly used as equivalent to the whole Web-2.0-hype. Nowadays you can't develop any new application without adding tags, and I wanted to do the same.

The discussion on my blog post "Do not use regular expressions for parsing" ended in a discussion about BBcodes in general. I just used them as an example to demonstrate why it it is impossible to parse such a language with regular expressions - and mentioned in a subclause, that I don't see any sense in using them at all. So why use them at all? read more…
