Have had a look around del.icio.us. Aileen says the main interest here is the grouping and tagging of your "favourites" but I didn't seem to come across a lot on that topic, rather more on the tagging etc.
The concept of public tagging (metadata?) is interesting to a cataloguer but I feel lack of any structure can have drawbacks in lack of consistency in headings used. Good for browsing etc. but for serious searching I think there also needs to be some sort of authority structure.
Maybe public library catalogues could eventually allow for the users to add their own tags to the catalogue record?
