Tag this is a new plugin aiming to crowdsource the tagging of your blog posts. Lazy bloggers will be delighted! The drive behind the plugin was the introduction of native taggin in wordpress 2.3:

“How and who the hell will tag my old articles?” Tags are awesome

Can’t argue with that. I’m testing this on another blog to see how quickly spam becomes a problem. Hopefully it won’t as one of the most interesting things I observe in my stats is how people tag my posts in social bookmarking sites like delicious. Often I’ll retag a post to reflect how other people see it. Especially sticky posts that make it into stumbleupon. It does seem to extend the life of the post.

The panel is large, but nicely formatted. If you are comfortable with hacking CSS you can restyle pretty easily.
