I am a collector by nature. I like to keep things to use "later." This applies to my home, classroom and my computer! I think tagging is a great tool to help packrats like me!
Is tagging a useful way to organize your digital resources and why? Yes. Any way to organize a bunch of information is useful. I see how it can be used as an index to quickly find topics and to connect other areas of interest through other people's tags.
As they indicated in the tagging article: "7 Things You Should Know About Social Bookmarking" http://www.scribd.com/full/2329475?access_key=key-2a1e21h5jb4w9sxl5x8j
knowing what tags to use can make your search more efficient for yourself and others. One example they gave was the key word, "greyhound" and if that was the only tag used, someone looking up information on "dog breeds" would never find it!
Other bits of info I found interesting were: don't put spaces between words, you can connect separate tags with a + sign (intersecting tags) and when in Rome...tag like the others!
