sadly, the link seems to be broken :(
I also cannot find the document at k-sync.com - if you have any other way to get at it, this would be greatly appreciated!

Sadly indeed. This teleconference is now behind a for-fee wall ($250) at http://www.forrester.com/rb/teleconference/folksonomy_in_enterprise_effectively_leverage_social_tagging/q/id/2181/t/1.

However, there is a PowerPoint presentation - www.forrester.com/rb/download?t=1&&c=nch&o=2181&ft=1 - from which we can get the main points.

Hope this helps. Thanks for reading.
