I'd never thought to use them that way, Mike, but I do use my own tags for my own purposes, Glennis. When I want to find something, some specific post on my LJ and can't remember what title I'd put or when exactly I posted it.
Should you go back through YEARS worth of posts to tag? Uhhh, no. Should you maybe start today? If you'll find it useful for whatever reasons/purposes. Should you do it for others or expect others to use them? probably not since rarely do two users think of the exact same tags for things. Unless you TELL people what tags to search with, why would they use APPLE instead of BANANA ?
HTH.
