Tags tend to bloat the number of indexed pages which can negatively reflect on your websites' rankings if it goes out of hand. My recommendation is to either canonicalise these pages or noindex,follow in meta. Another way to look at tags is basically as "indexable search results".

One thing you covered quickly, and one I've been reading about the past week or so, is related what you called today 'browseable tags", sometimes called Technorati tags,or just plain tags.Am I right in thinking that today you were alluding to leaving them in as navigation options for users, but to make all the tag pages not indexable by Google? That Google saw them as low value pages, and that you're better off simply having high value pages such as individual posts and category pages?  Great talk today Dan!
