The thing with tagging, when it's done by users, is that it communicates personal meaning and the users' interpretations.
When it's done by search engines, the user's voice is lost.
Now, yes, tagging is annoying in many cases and so I'll grant that it's "broken" – but I'd claim that removing the user's voice from it is not the best solution.
Is there a way to look at what I've tagged manually, previously, or any other classifications I've placed on other content and suggest meaningful tags for new content, based at least in part on how I've tagged stuff in the past?
