True, tagging is spontaneous and random where categorization is pre-conceived and ordered(relatively)
Imagine a blog system with a tag field on the blog entry form where you can put in comma separated or space separated tags in free form. Just below that is a list of the top 50 tags you've used before. Clicking on one, just copies text into the field. Now you can add old tags with one click and add new ones just by typing them. I've coded this in my custom Drupal installation. Be nice if the mainstream blog tools copied it.
