Why did I make Piggydb?

There are already many web services or applications that support tagging or other information organizing mechanism such as delicious, Wikipedia, Youtube and so on.

So why did I make Piggydb?

The above services known as Web2.0 or social web applications, folksonomies whatever they are called enable you to connect to other people who have the same interest with you, and discover new information about it. It's a fantastic enviroment thanks to the internet.

In a Web2.0-oriented enviroment, mostly the information has already been organized when you arrive at a service. Although it's so convenient and useful, I think it has a certain kind of risk that you are so influenced by the majority that it prevents you from creating your own view or idea, moreover ability to produce those things.

So I want to put more focus on the importance of organizing information all by oneself from scratch. In other words, the process of organizing information is more important than organized information itself.
