How does that work? Sue, no, I did not know tags could be bundled. How does that work?

Tags delight me, and I don't know what I did before Del.icio.us came along to help me re-find my finds. But I have lots of redundancy in my system, so I was relating to your comment "clean-up and better standardize the tags to associate them with how I think." You will probably discover this soon if you haven't already, but you can also bundle tags into groups - which helps me. I had mine all bundled under an my old identity (Perspector) but since my import have not finished. Jeffrey, I enjoyed hearing your whirring wheels here about Del.icio.us tags.

I suppose that a challenge is that I was trying to use tags in a standardized way, though such formal standardizations do not exist. It has taken some time, but now I realize that the key to the tool's usability is for me to make use of it in a way that helps me accomplish something for me in the somewhat ideosyncratic way that I think and organize information. If it works for others, great. If not, at least I can use it! Thus, writing about it has helped me to articulate it more. Part of being a reflective practitioner! Chris, some great points.

In fact, I agree with being both conceptual and idiosyncratic. The beauty of tags is that they are one of the few methods of organization that get better as they scale... so there's no reason not to do both. I always tag items in del.icio.us with my own idiosyncratic set of tags that make sense to me, often associating the items with classes, diff blogs, projects, etc. Some tags are actually conceptual containers for items. I then attach, when I feel like it, tags that are meant to make those items visible. It sounds like a lot of work, but is in fact just a matter of habit and takes only a few seconds to add a resource to del.icio.us... I agree with this strategy wholeheartedly.
