The Hows and Whats of Social Tagging

05.03.06 |

Social tagging - the practice of a wide variety of online users “tagging” a piece of content as being about one subject or another (or multiple subjects) - sometimes makes people’s brows furrow as they try to figure out both how - and why - social tagging is so important. A recent post on Online Spin includes one of the best explanations of Social tagging and how it can help you get through all the content that’s on the web at any given time.  From both a professional and personal standpoint, I’ve found that items that have been tagged by others to be about the information I’m interested in or looking for cuts down on the time I would have spent trying to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of importance and relevance.
