I do think you are on a good path with tags.

Back when I went to Gmail from a folder type email representation, it was hard at first. But search proved superior. Basically, a lot of organizational time investment had no return. Getting better at search always has a return, and you save all the laborious folder management.

I've taken to one or two big directories filled with reference material, docs, pictures, etc... search generally pays off.

Smarter tagging is likely to work in similar ways.

My beef with search-based, tag-based UIs are they are not great at browsing content. Sometimes I want to just review and look at older content, not search for one particular thing.

I will plug in a date, but yes, agreed.
