[Sigia-l] Eliminating categories in favour of tagging

[Dmitry Nekrasovski]

The "let's turn this forum's energy towards substantive discussion"
meme seems to be gaining steam, so here is my attempt to jump on the
bandwagon. :)

My employer is in the process of upgrading its internal blogging
platform. The new version announcement came out a couple of days ago,
and contained a statement to the effect of "since tagging is the new
best practice in metadata generation for blogs, the new version will
not have post categories, only tags".

What does everyone think of this move from an IA standpoint? Please
don't get caught up on the "best practice" part... :)

Dmitry
