Universal Tagging as Folders in Personal Information Management

Personal information management (PIM) is a vital topic in information studies. Traditionally, PIM systems provided folders for information storage and retrieval. Nevertheless, in the era of Web 2.0, it is possible that tags can be widely used in the PIM systems. In recent years, much progress has been made in PIM, but many fail to achieve the goal of making tagging method widely used. Our project 鈥 designing and developing a web-based application overcomes the barrier between traditional hierarchical folders structure and tagging system offering a 鈥淯niversal Tagging鈥 model. This new application gives Internet users more freedom in choosing how to store and retrieve their own personal information items, particularly web references, through a simple, uncomplicated User Interface and efficient matching 鈥淭agging鈥 as folders mechanism. As always, people look forward to a better way to organize, re-find and share their personal information items. And we are innovating.
