Hi Dan, You are describing Simpy :) - http://www.simpy.com/
If you look at Simpy's blog at http://blog.simpy.com/blojsom/blog/ , you will see I started a little series of posts about the analysis of tagging and bookmarking in Simpy. If I find time, I'll post the next part of the series tonight. Future analysis I plan on doing will include doing POS analysis of tags, and if you would like to see other types of analysis, please feel free to email/comment on the blog.
