I think there is a major innovation to be had here. currently tagging is just used to make searching for files you've saved easier. i envision a system where the software knows how certain tags interact (and learns new ways via usage) and suggests connections for you. think of the netflix algorithm, but working to suggest ways to automatically organize your data on your desktop.
