Sounds incredible. That is definitely making the things to check out this week list for me. I have the same trouble you describe - creating different variations of the same tag, such as: blog, blogging, and bloggers. That one is a good example of another issue, too, since sometimes I link to blogs I enjoy reading, while other times, I'm saving stuff related how to be more effective at blogging. Other services allow me to merge tags to clean things up, but that is just an extra step down the road, which makes faviki seem all that much more appealing. Thanks for telling me about faviki.

Many times I will tag a bookmark as e-learning, and then next time tag it as e_learning. This also causes problems for me when tagging content that could fit in a similar bucket but I tag one as e-learning and a different site as distance_learning. A site that solves this problem for me is faviki <a href="http://www.faviki.com" rel="nofollow">(http://www.faviki.com/),</a> which utilizes semantic web technology to attach a meaning to the tag I am adding. It does this by asking me to add metadata that is connected to a topic on wikipedia. By using wikipedia terms, I avoid the syntax errors of e-learning vs. e_learning, and the system has a much better understanding of what the content actually is. It associates that tag to more broad categories allowing me to do a search for "education" and knowing to include bookmarks tagged as e-learning in the results. The best part is, you can synch your faviki account to delicious if you still prefer to use that system.
