I've been using del.icio.us for a quite a while to save pages I like or would like to access quickly. I liked seeing how many others saved the save page but didn't really think of using it as a social or sharing tool. I like the suggestions for tags, though I don't always use them. The index along the right column is really helpful to me to find the articles again.
Tag clouds are pretty cool. One way I've seen them used is with a program called AquaBrowser which attaches itself to the OPAC and creates a "web" of tags related to a particular item.
Tagging is a good way for customers to search using the terms they try to find (unsuccessfully!) in our catalog.
