I find hierarchy also useful and at the same time I love tagging. At www.blinklist.com, a brand new social bookmarking site, we tried to come up with a way to have some structure. Would love to hear from the experts in this community of what you think on the organization that we have tried to come up with. I have to admit that reading this blog inspired us to think creatively and think outside the box. I don’t think it is all either or. I find hierarchy also useful and at the same time I love tagging.

Hierarchy is helpful to advance organize a user to what resources are available. Indices and Search are good when the hierarchy is either too deep or wide (or both), and/or what they are looking for is something rather specific. Personally, I value hierarchies when I am need to be overview-ed to what's available. Or if I'm not quite sure what I am looking for... I like the idea though, that I don't have to always drill-down to find something. And for that I like the idea that hierarchies can be bypassed at-will. But will they go away completely? Maybe I am just to used to them and need to warm up to that idea, I don't know. I think there’s alot involved here, depending on how you look at it.
