does for bookmarks? I like Del.icio.us for bookmark management. Okay, a lot. What would be really cool and useful for me is something like a "tagcloud" that del.icio.us uses only for computer files. It would be software that could embed tags inside files or keep a database of descriptive words associated to them. I'm trying to get away from folder organization on Windows XP.

I realize Vista will have something similiar but I was wondering if there is something available now that I could start using.

Please don't mention online resources such as Tagworld for example that you have to upload your files to.
Also, this would be software that would allow one to create their own tags so it would be easier to find the releavant content as you describe it other than a automated process would (such as Google Desktop or Copernic search)

Why not use a desktop search software like Copernic or Yahoo Desktop Search ? They automatically extract keywords from your Microsoft Office documents, html files, PDF's or any other format you choose.

Then you can search with keywords. Simple.

Brilliant Question, Jac!
I too would love such a thing.

All I know is for picture files - www.flickr.com is real good, but that requires uploading your pix, and I agree that is NOT the ultimate.

But for pictures on your hard drive, Picasa (from Google) is rather sensational ! Worth a look even if you don't decide to keep it !

I do not think you can do this. I've been using del.icio.us for about a year. It is very useful for me but I am often frustrated by the lack of features and the lack of improvement despite the fact that presumably with a team of developers.
