Hi Rich,
Yeah, I read the Many-2-Many blog and that concept just came up. I was actually wondering how a loose tagging system for plants would work, and whether it would be effective. It might not be the best for the primary info on a plant, but might make an interesting addition to make browsing more interesting (a la del.ico.us). There'd have to be a reason for people to use it and add tags, something they get back in return to make it very effective.
Cheers,
Bear

It looks at the difference between central controlled vocabularies
and more anarchic systems.
Well worth a read.
