If the tag isn't self-referencing in an obvious way it is a self-reference anyway, because I organize tag tags for later reference according to need to retrieve the information in an category that is obvious to me. My willingness to participate is the sharing. When using Del.icio.us and other social tagging applications we are all librians tagging the world's content that interest us individually, we can then find people of similar interest that we may not have otherwise known. What I find interesting is what I can learning about this beehive of knowledge and the people interest in tagging pieces of the knowledge tree. The mass market is dead. Online social tagging will lead to mass customization, because it creates the ability to group together people of similar interest.
