Adam Kalsey introduces Tagyu, a tool that might support some consistency in tag selection between sites: "The basic premise of Tagyu is to let other people help you tag your content. Tagyu comapres what you’re writing to what other people around the web are writing. It looks at how they’ve tagged their content and uses that informtion to give you some ideas about how to tag yours. Look at any tag and you’ll see items from del.icio.us that match that tag. Tagyu will show you how those items are tagged at del.icio.us and then show you what tags it suggests for each item. Every time a tag is shown, it’s clickable, so you can free-associate all day long."
Interesting new way to start to order the folksonomy chaos?

I've been thinking about a similar tool, except it would look for relevant tags and then list them in order of the PR of the Technorati page for that rank. For my blog, for example, "bike" would be listed ahead of "bicycle" because technorati.com/tag/bike has PR4 while technorati.com/tag/bicycle has PR3.
