The difference: I gave Flickr money. And I use it all of the time. I guess I don't get the del.icio.us thing at all. More dust.bin to me.

The applications are not really solving everyday problems, but rather organising things that 'internet-savvy' people do already. When Web 2.0 starts to spill over into CRM, that's where big changes should start to happen. I agree that Web 2.0 is in early adopter stage.

Instead, think of it this way: Yahoo paid for 300,000 humans who will categorize (tag) the web for them. There will be all sorts of opportunities to use that tagging in Yahoo's main search application and other Yahoo searches.

I would disagree that Google isn't vying for tag space. One could look at Google Base as a mash up of tagging and classified advertising.
