Abstract

Tagging is a promising method for organising and refinding information. However, studies comparing tagging mechanisms to organising information in folder hierarchies are relatively scarce. A study with the software framework tagstore shows that tagging does not necessarily mean slower filing performance. For experienced users, tagging required less time, fewer mouse clicks, and had very high acceptance rates.
