I was thinking, in my aphoristic way (it's all marketing!), that if you click on a tag, you see all the other objects tagged that way, which is like seeing all the books on a shelf clustered by topic. But digg-ing something only tells the system that you approve, not what the article is about. So, diggs don't assemble objects by their semantics. Hence, no shelf. I think. I don’t think so.
