No doubt, tagging and folksonomies are here to stay! This is a fascinating area to watch evolve. While "real people" access to categorizing information may achieve broader access to that information by some, the dilution of a controlled vocabulary and inclusion of "lowest-common-denominator classifications" may also produce confusing or distorted results in retrieving information.
The discovery resources are helpful and thought-provoking.
