This is great for correlating a tag’s popularity with a surge in use of the service, as I think you already noted. Maybe to add an additional dimension of data, you could base a tag’s decay upon how useful it is (i.e. how many times people access bookmarks with that tag). It would be a different way of looking at the data; “useful” tags will stick around longer, and you will weed out tags that nobody finds useful.
