What does everyone think of them?

Thinking of adding the option to tbs. Do they actaully have any benefit? It would just be an added extra, wouldn't be instead of any other sort of navigation.

Example - http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/tags/

I see them as being sort of useful for browsing - i.e. del.icio.us. Otherwise, I don't think it's all that good for anything but casual browsing.

they aren't particularly useful as navigation tools, but as a form of usable meta-data for the site they are great. i'd think it could be a nice addition to tbs as long as it's unintrusive (which i'm sure it would be, but i can't see your demo just now - it's returning nothing in your content div)
