Idiosyncratic taxonomies are interesting in and of themselves, and are in a way a method for each of us to expose our own "tagging idiolects". It's fascinating and fun, and much better than a drop down list. Bridging the gap is then the next step. Hey Maya,

Idiolects are sad when there's no framework to mediate between yours and mine. But they sure are a lifesaver when you're trying to sort information and make sense of the world. What a blessing that all those social bookmark and photo gadgets let me invent tags and cluster terms. Imagine we had to categorise *our world* by recourse to drop down lists a la mid-90s yahoo directory? i feel like idiosyncratic taxonomies help maintain sanity. But they are bound to isolate unless we persistently take care to adapt and bridge them in a way that generates folksonomies and hell ya, standards.
