I see many advantages to bookmarks being shared and available on the web. One thought is that the organizer in me wants to go in and clean up the tags (e.g., I don't want to see both 'Dictionaries' and 'dictionary' as tags). If we use this and perhaps make available to the OCC community, someone should monitor it and clean those kinds of things up.
I guess that's the point of many of these Web 2.0 tools is to just go in and get messy with it, publish, whatever, and clean up later. Of course you need to teach people to be responsible and careful with what they publish - you hear the horror stories of people publishing videos/blogs/photos and it comes back to haunt them later.

i think you're right that if we used it as a library tool we should have some kind of controlled vocabulary to use for tags.
