I think that the Flickr tag browsing interface is pretty cool! 

Tagging and folksonomy are only as accurate as the people who do it.  I know, and I'm sure you know, people who don't do it well.  They may use the wrong word, misspell the word, etc.  Sometimes I wonder whether a bunch of professional catalogers shouldn't come in and sort out the mess....
