These are strengths for a system intended for mass consumption, which is fair enough, but limit the amount of metadata and useful (and especially controlled) vocabulary you can use. It's still bloody cool, and hopefully won't fall down as much as the profiles do on my work version of Mozilla, which periodically chucks my bookmarks in the bin.
