Part of what works so well re del.icio.us is that it's simple, and that tagging is flexible. This reminds me, e.g., that I tag things not only for my own future use, but for others' as well. So my tags are often redundant. I imagine that this may help other people benefit from my links. Blah, blah, blah.... > I'd just post the book as an amazon link.
