This may be a way down the track idea...

Are there any tag aggregators?

Could you be at an address and type "wetag" in Ubiquity and have it
aggregate any references to the url from social bookmark sites,
provided tags (if blog or using tags) and add (and store them
somewhere) to one big cloud displayed in UBQT's preview window (more
references = size?). If there are no references "be the first to add"
to "wetag" for the next person who comes along, command like "bagit"
could add to personal ffx bookmarks too.

Could you then put a voting mechanism next to each tag so that people
could quickly define pages as they best see fit (I realize its a
keyboard oriented product, but maybe tab + arrow keys for votes?).
Then simply typing wetag would give user a pretty good summary of what
was on page, provide an engine for pages with similarly weighted tag
clouds. Other benefits would be that duplicates and misspellings
would occur less as first instance would likely get voted up via click
or key, not typed.

Could you then provide a points system where putting a tag in that get
voted up is worth points and getting your tag voted down subtracts to
discourage plebs, then open these points up to causual/web based
games?

Would this define pages better than a keyword algorithm?

or am I just a crazy question asking loony?

I have a similar rant here http://tinyurl.com/5mvhro (oh how i love
"tiny this")
