 See http://tagyu.com/

I tried it on an article in New Scientist and never got a response
back. I don't have time right now to plug many other URLs in it to
find a failure pattern. maybe it's completely down.

 Personally I'm not convinced about the requirement for this (nor does
 this implementation seem optimal). Humans still much better at working
 out what something is about than machines.

I'm not convinced about the requirement, and I'm going to ping my
friend about it a little more when I have brain time. a tag suggestion
engine would work for semantically related tags, and perhaps it could
be sat to also suggestion categories. it would be more useful to have
something suggest tags based on a user's profile/behavior because the
idiosyncratic choices are often the most useful.

How is a tag engine going to know that I want to tag something
to.speculate and why? and the significance of what I stack with
certain tags? and so on.

 OTOH, it could be useful to see what tags other people have used on a
 resource.

easily done with del for URLs. so you could do a search aggregator
across tagging web services?

I'm guessing that providing a tag suggestion engine would work best if
I had a database of related tags for varying definitions of
relatedness. I could dig around for stuff like that

I read about LSA when I was in school, and maybe there are some public
libraries out there that do that and I'd just have to feed a lot of
text into it? Or perhaps there are publicly available databases of
semantically related terms? This would be a kluge in terms of tag
suggestions because I'm guessing my friend wouldn't want mere
synonyms.

The thing that intrigues me is doing tag suggestions for images. I'd
have to go read up on that. I'm sure that's already out there, but
maybe just in academia?
