HERE IS A VERY NICE PROJECT THAT USES BOTH LISTS AND TAGS:

HARVARD LAW'S H2O PLAYLIST: HTTP://H2OBETA.LAW.HARVARD.EDU/

[HTTP://H2OBETA.LAW.HARVARD.EDU/]

YOU CREATE A LIST OF CITATIONS ON A TOPIC AND THEN YOU MAKE
THAT LIST 

FINDABLE VIA TAGS. OTHER USERS CAN THEN CREATE NEW LISTS
FROM SCRATCH OR 

BASED ON A LIST THEY FIND. THE SYSTEM TRACKS THE LINEAGE OF
THE 

DERIVATIVES AND SUGGESTS OTHER "PLAYLISTS" WITH
SIMILAR ITEMS OR TAGS.

TAGGING IS MOST OFTEN 
IMPLEMENTED FOR SITES IN WHICH THE USER *GENERATES* THE

BLOGS, FLICKR).  WHILE SITES THAT ALLOW YOU TO SEARCH AND
SAVE RECORDS 
USUALLY EMPLOY A LIST METAPHOR (E.G., AMAZON [3],
ISTOCKPHOTO).
