Can tags (user-generated taxonomies) replace a pre-defined taxonomy? (SIGCHI from CHI-WEB discussion, Hal Shubin)... (one) can use tags to do some searching, but it's a very simple search... (and) what about an advanced search with tags? Maybe multiple-term clouds.

Perhaps one day of the BCD4 (BarCampDallas4) could be devoted to a Design Crawl and Walking Camp like this one in SF: http://orange-sf.pbwiki.com/
