I completely agree.
I added tags to all my Firefox bookmarks and even to the delicious.com ones. But I don’t really use them. I just use the Firefox “awsome bar”, type what I want and there it is.
I Addition to you follow up post: I think foreseeing the future works better with classical categories (this may be the alternative for Kevin if searching isn’t). I got some like “creating a website” “fun” etc. which are step-by-step tutorial and reference collections. If I would tag them the order and the subtopics are lost, so nearly always no gain.

But tags really rock finding related pages.

Maybe it would be nice to have delicious find related pages based on multiple tags. For example: Looking something up at Google and the deliciuos toolbar says: There are another popular website about this at http:/…
(I am using delicious mainly to share links too)

Anyway I don’t have too much problems, because I’ve got only ~400 bookmarks

Hi Kevin.
No, tagging is not obsolete at all. In my follow up post I clarified what I meant.

I think it’s important to use tagging for the right purposes, otherwise it will never unleash its potential.

If tagging is obsolete, what is the alternative??

Does Cédric really find other users by tags, or by “saved by..”? maybe the user dimension is more important than the tag dimension
