On self-sorting

del.icio.us, flickr, gmail use the categories/tags to mark online content (and now google base categorizes offline content too). what that makes me wonder is - the content could also belong to some category which we dont know about. i might miss putting a certain tag to a file.

Using gmail and flickr, i have come across these potential problems - a. There could be more than one tag to a mail and this gets more complex. There could an option of automatic categorizing (If a mail comes from the domain "microsoft.com", give it a SwareUpdte tag)

there could be a system evolved of Most Common Attributes (MCAs?). flickr tags
