hello joseph / how i implemented tags: a de-normalized approach

hello joseph / how i implemented tags: a de-normalized approach (to read), via Keith. I've had a tag-based bookmarking system running fine for a while. The only difficulty came in when I wanted to have parent/children tags ('perl is a child of 'proglang, for example, and you can do logic based on "siblings" and such). So, I haven't finished the whole thing yet.

Update: Read this piece last night. This seems like almost the worst way possible to implement tags.
