What differences are associated with a MetaTag Tagson Omy compared to Free Text?

• not just from a Search Engine perspective

• particularly as relates to Wiki Word As Tag: is Automatic Linking a feature that will become meaningless as Search Engine-s become faster and smarter (e.g. Devon Think)?

If you won't have a Shared Vocabulary (e.g. instead have Folkson Omy), why not just use Free Text and a Search Engine?

• I have sometimes thought that maybe a WiKi was just an excuse not to have a personal Search Engine, but since my interest is either in the Personal Wiki or Team Wiki area, you do have a Shared Vocabulary there, so Wiki Word As Tag makes sense (adds value over Free Text).

• or does the Feed Back loop in tag-set-emergence change things? z2004-08-26- Udell Keyword Feedback
