With del.icio.us you wouldn't actually need the extenders. We could bundle anything that came w/ nptech.

So you could have:

nptech software fundraising

or

nptech consultant Michigan

We could sort on anything with the "nptech" and then look at the list of related links to see the other tags that people have added.

A bit of population and we'd probably end up with a good 2nd level taxonomy.

As for what we applying a taxonomy to -- why don't we let that emerge as well? What are people bookmarking? When I start to think of these things, I immediately jump to software but maybe people are putting other things there -- innovation or projects or articles or possibilities. Who knows?

If we go with nptech, I recommend that we push it out in all the usual places and then start figuring out how do the next step -- manipulating the data.
