Tagging looks fairly straight forward. I tagged my pictures in Flickr and felt fairly successful. I do see the drawback, however of not be like minded. I may tag something as one thing, but someone else may not think to use that same tag. Generally, it seems to be very beneficial. If I tagged a site as gardening, flowers, butterflies, and spring, chances are someone else may have one of the same as well. I'm not sure how specific I need to be. Would horticulture, delphiniums, and perennial be better? Or would I use all 7 tags? I guess this is where the tag cloud comes in handy.
I do like that I can access my sites anywhere and see what others find useful. The idea of a folksonomy is quite appealing.
