The advantage memories retain is that you can memory someone else's posts.
As far as tagging goes, it's much like keywords on icons. You tag something when you post it, and then you can later look up everything that has ever been tagged with a particular tag. As opposed to having to click through and specifically memory that particular post to a given memories category.
Like she said, it's more convenient by a lot. Let's you save on a fair bit of time--as anyone who's ever had to go through and sort an archive into memory categories can attest.
Sorry, this is probably out of date by now, But another advantage of memories is (as far as I know) there's no limit to what you can bring back up once it's been marked. So if you have 300 entries saved in memories you can go back at any time and see all of them. The tags, as convientient and wonderful as they are, only retrieve the last 100 entries from your journal with that tag.
Which is alot of tags; but still, it's not permanent; everytime you add a new entry to a tag group, the closer the first entry of that group comes to being lost.
