Really, I'm no expert, maybe categories are for SEO. However I believe that tags are more searchable, and you can have as many as you want. For example, look at engadget, each post has loads of tags. but fewer categories. I'ld say Categories to allow people look at your information and tags to add to the keywords meta tag on each post page for SEO. Once again I'm no expert, just a physics student who loves to code python and web2py. But then again Its one of tose questions that make you think.
