+* Good summary of your research. It really helps to see into what you did upfront. The interviews seem a little short, though. Also, you might have done better to have given people a real life scenario and observed them as they interacted with a website they wanted to recall later.
+* I like the fact that you have alternative sketches. A little more detail would have helped to get a better sense of your idea. It still seems quite high level at the moment.
+* Are tag clouds an efficient way to re-find information? They seem more like a trend that's now outdated than something really useful. I'd consider other ways to organize your tags, perhaps in addition to the cloud.
+* Have a look at Zemanta--a tool for automatic tagging.
+* Also check out Facetag (http://www.facetag.org/), a way to browse tags by different facets.
+* In the business world, the ability to communicate your design ideas is as important as having them. Managers and stakeholders may have different priorities with a given project or initiative, and you will have to persuade them to see your point of view. Unfortunately, you didn't complete the template for your project so we can't see how well you put your thoughts in writing.
+Overall, you've done good research and have come to meaningful conclusions at the beginning. It's a shame you didn't follow through with more detailed designs and a complete description of your project.
