Ismael Ghalimi’s Office 2.0 Database is an exported view of a Dabble application that lists and categorizes web-based productivity tools. He’s also integrated data feeds from Dabble deep into his IT|Redux blog, seamlessly populating the Office 2.0 Setup sidebar and the list of contributors to the database. He describes this a little further here and here. [...] […] Along with the private databases we expected, it’s also interesting to see some public uses emerging.

That being said, end-users have developed a fair level of comfort with hierarchical folders, and having to give them away is not always easy, as was experienced by some Gmail early adopters. I tend to believe that both will be needed, at least during some transition period. Dennis,

Doesn't tagging give users a more intuitive way of accessing the information they really need? Having said that, I can see a case for tag systems that reflect hierarchies but which serve as signposts for the information in which users are interested.
