Blogoforum - Sean Wu's book shows people how to make money by posting loads of tags and websites on the bookmarking sites purely on a commercial basis. Won't this dilute the sites with people's own websites, a lot of which may trashy, which they are posting purely to get backlinks rather than as good sites which they want to share with others?
I think that eventually the whole object of these great sites will be spoiled by commercialism. What do others think and what can be done about it?

Spam? Folksonomy Helps
Hi Pete,
Welcome to blogoforum. I haven't read the book you are talking about neither have seen complete reviews.
I found another interesting thing however. A spammer has created at least 10 del.icio.us profiles and posted the link - http://del.icio.us/url/d4d868895a7ea15fc26864383213d4f7 to his webpage.
I think he has tired after 10 submissions. So first thing which works good against spam is captcha.
Next thing that helps is folksonomy. On 10 spammers, we can find 100 people willing to mark spam as "spam". People can do this on del.icio.us, people can do this on blogoforum: http://blogoforum.com/forum/tag/feature+forum+idea+talkinghub/new-feature-tag-the-message-you-are-replying-to-231.html
That's how I see it for short.
Incidentally, spammer's webpage refers to tag and ping website.by dkrukovskyJune 16, 2006 8:00 AM
