Aggregation currently has at it’s core, self generated descriptions, which reflect the owners bias. My tags and category descriptions while spelled correctly and are for me extremely pungent and focused, have limited utility without the context of the the person generating the tag.

Moving beyond individual context, and looking at tagging as played at Technorati and others, tags are ‘exclusive’, in terms of boxing bits and ideas into chunks, and where tags get adopted by others for their ideas of the concepts engendered by them, in almost all cases, we end up with an amorphous sack of of things, that wiggle and look like jello having puked up by ferrets on meth.

Wikipedea and the DMOZ directory before it, are both poster children for the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

Aggregation has no long term business model. What is happening today are pet rocks. Nice Idea, and you can show it off to your friends, but it will be on the garage sale table next week.

Or are you just suggesting that, while it’s useful, it’s not going to be a business model in its own right?
