I'm learning how to use del.icio.us today and have some basic questions.
1. How can I find a list of all the tags?
2. How can I search for a tag?
3. I've seen that del.icio.us has the concept of related tags. Is the algorithm for determining what's related described somewhere?

In News.Com, Declan McCullagh writes:
No significant difference exists between the newsgathering techniques used by traditional reporters and the publishers of Apple news sites Think Secret, Apple Insider and PowerPage. But there is a tremendous legal chasm dividing them: The California law protecting confidential sources shields only broadcast media and "periodical publications"--not the Web.
Apple claims that the Web writers are not "legitimate members of the press" when revealing details about forthcoming products. Those actions, though, describe exactly what good journalists do--writing articles that serve their readers, rather than the parochial interests of a single corporation.
To lawyers who may read this, care to comment? Do publications that print offer any greater authority? Will this decision be overturned on appeal? Will it be appealed? What justification is there for government recognition of reporters?
