When I bookmark http://dbpedia.org/About, del.icio.us suggests "xml" and "programming" as tags. How does it know that the URL relates to these topics?

A:
This is most likely because other users have tagged that same URL with those tags.

Probably watches for other persons' tags, although I would have wanted it to crawl the URL pages and process its suggestions.

It's definitely based on other users. More "unknown" pages won't have any suggestions, but popular pages that others have presumably bookmarked will have them.

it's still based on other users. but i think, if they want stay one of the most used plattforms, they should add another tagging techniques. there are some great ideas in that field - Faviki (based on Wikipedia) or Meaning of a Tag (MOAT).
