I have a similar file; it started as a place to collect interesting
bookmarks in and is naturally named bookmarks.org. 
Step by step, it evolved to be my location for all kinds of information
- not only from the interwebs - that I want to keep. 

For me, the outline is enough to maintain the structure.
I have some level 1 headings loosely related to my interests, like

* University
* Latin
* Emacs
** Org
** Gnus
...
* Quotes 
...
* Unsorted (yet)

etc. The last heading is my default inbox for everything new.
I let stuff linger there for a while to make my mind up if it is really
worth keeping. Whenever I have some time left (or too much accumulated
there), I sort them in my Level 1's or delete them if they are not that
important on a second glance.

Up to now, I had no trouble finding anything, either looking into the
appropiate heading or just using C-s. Its all just text ;).
So no tags or properties needed so far, but most items are not related
to each other, so I have no use for heavily linking, yet.

Nice thread, I am interested what others will say.
