This is exactly why its important for an open tagging system to refer
back to the originating tagging service.
Del.icio.us is a great place to find links about Ruby and Ajax, but
Upcoming.org is a great place to find out about indie rock concerts.
Other tagging islands, or "communities", may have a different focus.
Hopefully FireANT will become a great service for finding *videos*.
What's needed is some kind of glue to stitch these islands together --
not an über system to rule them all.
