I think tagging is one of those natural, "oh duh" common sense things that makes everything we do, online at least, so much easier. It's also one of those things that has so much potential that it's sometimes frustrating when it's not being used.
I also think it's another one of those tools that we libraries need to start exploiting more fully.
I don't have a del.icio.us account yet, although I've been meaning to set one up. (Maybe after the bamboo is back in the ground?...) I can certainly see the value in it, having more than one email account and several computers that I regularly use. I am frequently guilty of bringing up something I recently found/read/experienced on line that I want to share with whomever I'm talking to. It would be so much easier to share with a del.icio.us account than having to redo a search and send a link via email...
