hi will,
  the text has to be set to empty after adding the selected topic, 
othwerwise teh next tag has to start search with the words of the last one.

what IMHO will be more useless is something like an extension for a 
tagging service. this have to provide tags that one can "put" into the 
tag boxes of each service(eg. <tag>:freebase>:id). The action "put" 
needs to be specified, because it has pretty effect on usabilty and 
hence it is IMHO the thing which makes the most about appeal on using 
the freebase-tags.
however this approach needs also something that converts tags of the 
style above to something meaningful. you could say why, one can extract 
the id and put it into freebase. for instance delicous give users the 
chance to create tag descriptions. perhaps this description can be used 
to show users haven't seen freebase-tag yet what is behind it.

this will add a new layer to the tagging services as more people use the 
"new" tags. before that it provides more info to each user using it.

thanks for implementing a demo,
  cheers sebastian
