In case you didn’t see Bud Gibson’s comment in my post about folksonomies on intranets, Bud pointed me to a post on his blog reporting that IBM will begin experimenting with folksonomies on W3, the company’s massive and impressive intranet. Bud says the initiative is designed to address “a need to maintain the pace of updates to how information is organized in their intranet and a need to help users access their system.”

The post—a lengthy one, as blog posts go—covers the W3 taxonomy, plans for introducing the folksonomy concept, and what’s in it for all parties. There’s also a link to a presentation IBM reps gave on the subject, which is available for download.
