Another nugget from Berlin: Designing tag navigation

The web 2.0 Expo in Berlin recently clearly showed that Europe is lagging behind the US in this area. Certainly not all presentations met my expectations, but I would still say the nuggets I found among all the gravel made the visit worthwhile.

One presentation I would recommend in addition to Cal Henderson's below is "Designing tag navigation" by James Kalbach. He has a degree in library science and is currently a Human Factors Engineer with LexisNexis. He has previously served as head of information architecture with Razorfish Germany. There is nothing revolutionary in the presentation, but it gives a very good overview of the pro and cons of different approaches to tag navigation.

You can find more presentations from the conference on slideshare.net.
