ok, here's what I consider a great idea for making tagging simpler... a button in the Add Bookmark window (called, say, "Suggest Tags") that will suggest tags for the page.
The suggestion(s) could be based on what others have previously tagged the same page --the 2-3 most common tags, for example, would appear in the Tags field. If no one has tagged the page, the suggestion could be based on the community's (or just my own) tags for other pages in the same domain, for example.
The reason behind this is that it is sometimes time-consuming or difficult (depending on my state of mind at the time) to tag "well", and wouldn't it be nice to have some editable, suggested tags as a starting point?
These tags wouldn't be perfect, but would be a handy starting point, editable to suit the page or my own idea of what's important about it.
Using the button would of course be up to the user, only if the user wants a suggestion. Maybe I'm not the first to think of this, but then again, maybe i am ;-)
