I do wonder what would happen if someone submitted a bunch of bogus tags to Technorati Blog Finder to try to attract traffic to their site. In general, while tagging works well to provide metadata for photos in Flickr, I'm not sure it is all that useful for text data like blogs, blog posts, and web documents where metadata already exists or easily can be extracted. More on that on my blog in my post "<a href="http://glinden.blogspot.com/2005/04/questioning-tags.html" rel="nofollow">Questioning tags</a>". http://glinden.blogspot.com/2005/04/questioning-tags.html Great point on the potential for spam.
