Yes, that was what I was about to say. Some of the titles are a bit ambiguous or figurative, and the tags generally help resolve the question of what context I should be expecting to interpret the title in.
(That's not really a criticism of the titles, either; figurative and fun titles aren't a bad thing! It's just that if the tags went, the titles might then have a greater need to pass the "yes, but what is it?" test.)
Aye, same. I don't ever click them, though might if I was hunting down a particular post. OTOH, I'd be as likely to go direct to Delicious at that point.
From the point of view of someone reading your posts, they provide more context to the links made, and indeed allow you to make a quick commentary on them.
From the point of view of my own linkposts, I find them useful for those reasons, and also so I can call out certain specifics "NSFW", "semi-NSFW", "trigger warning" "idonotagreewiththepagelinkedto" are especially relevant, but also stuff like "comment" which I tend to use to say "This is someone's opinion; I'm not saying this is how the world is"

When I really have a lot of time, I will link the tags in search of 'more like this' kind of thing.
