The entry changes with the wind it seems. All the other entries are rather good. The best two in this bunch are the Adam Mathes and Joshua Porter articles. You may also want to question Technorati as a folksonomy tool as it is not, it is about social tagging but the focus of the tagging is completely wrong. Folksonomy focuses on the person consuming the information being the person creating the tag not the content creator. There is a huge difference cognitively on how tagging is approached.
