I use bundles, but only to organize my tags on my Del home page. (It
would be GREAT if they were similarly grouped on the posting page, hint
hint.) I don't use on them for searching; they're not geared for that.
For applications such as yours, I just use a series of general to
specific tags.
For example, I have a JS resource as "resource technology computers web
programming javascript". If I was heavy into JS as you seem to be, I
might add "events" or "ui" or whatever to be even more specific. When
it comes to disambiguating event-driven programming from social events,
that's what tag intersections do - "event" may be ambiguous by itself,
but "programming+event" is different than "holiday+event". You may see
this as inconvenient, but it's only one extra click.
My style of bundling (_kinds_ of tags, rather than _topics_ of tags)
sidesteps some of the problems you're experiencing. I guess I just use
Del in a different way?? It works for me. The one thing I'd say is
that Del could be friendlier to this style of tagging by making bundles
more visible (e.g. the posting page mentioned earlier). Almost every
link I save will have a tag from most of my bundles, so it would be so
much easier if I could scan a bundle at a time.
