For Tags

For tags are a brilliant idea. I spent some time about a year back deconstructing the economics of the idea of a reverse blog, which is what for tags essentially become.

I think this could be big, because it can be a disruptive addition to the value prop if tweaked a bit. It's amazing how del.icio.us continues to dominate innovation in this space, which must be a bit of a shock to players with much deeper pockets - nice play by Fred.

It also vaguely begins to occur to me that tags are coming closer to the much touted 'Web OS' (remember that...) than the other candidates (Google, browser, etc).
