Hi Soulgrind:

I can feel with you and all the other peers, who are used to work in a relaxed way without the need to bother about the case. As long as Diigo is used for private tagging, why not.

But when subcommunities within the DiiGo sphere want to build SocialCollaboration they need precise tags. Think of distributed teams of C++ programmers, who are very sensitive in questions of case.

For non-programmers, please rethink the iPOD (TM) versus iBM (TM) example.

Your example could be used for differentiating tags by TypingShortCuts

Tech=HighTech
tech=LowTech

In the author's view this is not at all "annoying". It is indeed very convenient.

It takes some carefulness of the SocialTagCommunityUser, but they will
learn the advantage of CaseSensitivity very fast, as soon as they see
more examples. On the other hand, as Maggie pointed out, the (private) tags remain editable.

Even the PluralSingularIssue, well known
in the different WikiCommunities, would have a total different
importance in TagCommunities.

"game" and "games" could precisely
differentiate between a site, devoted to one game only versus a site, where more than one game is offered.
