I use several online tools & sites that involve tagging, but the two primary ways that I use tags are through delicious, and twitter. Twitter is probably self-explanatory =)
I actually do not use delicious as effectively as I used to. In grad school, I found myself switching between multiple computers throughout the day, between classes and several part-time jobs and computer labs on campus and home... a service like delicious was the only good way to keep everything organized and available. It was especially helpful when I could install a plugin on my browser that allowed me to bookmark to delicious with one click, rather than having to log into the site. Now that I primarily use just my home computer and work computer, I have gotten a bit lazy about saving things to delicious, but I still really appreciate it as a way to save information and keep it organized so that I can return to it later. If I am working on research or a project on a particular topic, I can flag and save relevant articles and blog posts to return to throughout the process.
