TiddlyWiki is one of the most supportive environments for tagging that I've 
found, with the result that I've made relatively extensive use of Tags.  
For example, taking advantage of the UTF-8 support as well, its possible to 
make use of an extremely large number of distinct tags ( think in terms of 
using the majority of the defined UniCode values and it becomes possible to 
have on the order of 100,000 distinct tag values).  This lets one create a 
very "flat" namespace that significant reduces Search and Filter needs.

Of course, the use of a large number of (funny) "symbols" does make sharing 
harder, but that simply means its necessary to create different TW files 
for personal use and for sharing.

A lot of this type of thinking comes from the many predecessor efforts to 
develop Classification systems like the Dewey Decimal System, or the 
Library of Congress system, which clearly show that many people are very 
interested in what we are calling "tagging".  Furthermore, current efforts 
to develop the "Semantic Web" and the "Internet Of Things" are likely to 
result in even more people becoming involved.

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page shows just how much 
activity is taking place in the (OPEN) WikiData project.  I believe TW 
could interface to this work easily and would be able to add enough value 
to attract quite a lot of "new" (to TW) users.
