Interesting, but how do you choose which tags belongs to a specific bookmark?

I am using the suggest API to get popular tags for the links.

why?

A record of Hacker News as a snapshot in time. Also, as all the links have been tagged, it could lead to some interesting information visualisation, for example - how the distribution of links has changed as hacker news gets older.

Edit: It also offers a new metric of how popular a submission is.

I think the biggest benefit is to be able to explore with tags. However a personal version would be of better use.

One of the reasons I upvote an article (apart from liking it) is to bookmark and to be able to refer to it some other time (most Ask HN posts around scaling, infra, marketing etc)

If in the future PG supports this on HN itself, I wouldn't bother to duplicate.

I just revisited this thread. In a split second this comment of mine got downmodded and the one above which just said 'why?' upmodded. I really cannot reason out why. Can someone please tell me why you would do that if at all you would.

If there is something I shouldn't have said, I would benefit by knowing that.

awesome. Really handy. I love delicious. I'd love to pick the brains of the founder, clever chap.

someone should write a greasemonkey script that looks at each HN user name, checks if there's a delicious account with the same name, and if there is, puts a link next to their name.

I'd use it since you guys always seem to be up to interesting things and often it's the things you don't think worth mentioning (e.g., your bookmarks) are more interesting than the things you actually blog about or post to HN. At least IMHO.
