Part of the problem with Memories in general is that they are site-specific, not content-specific. Posts by other people become completely different URLs when they transition from one journaling service to another. Posts by other people vanish when the journals vanish. Posts by you that you've memoried can't (at this point) be auto-memoried when you transition your posts from one journaling service to another.
The only way I've come up with to possibly mitigate even some portion of the misery the idea of going through my LJ and IJ memories of my own posts and tagging those posts, because then the tags travel with the content when I transition via the Dreamwidth importer. But that doesn't mitigate the problems of my memories of other people's posts...
Even using something like del.icio.us rather than the memories function only gets us so far... when the content is replicated to another journaling service, the new link doesn't show up in my del.icio.us, and none of the import tools include a "originally posted at site/12345.html" link that might be back-trackable by a scraper program. When the original post of the content is removed? The connection between my memory keywords and the original post's content is gone, gone, gone.
