In this era of Web 2.0, it seems that blogs, mash-ups, RSS feeds and wikis have been the buzzwords occupying most of the limelight. But personally, tagging is the Web 2.0 technology that excites me the most, because of its versatility and wide applicability.
A tag, according to Wikipedia, is "a (relevant) keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information (e.g. a picture, article, or video clip), thus describing the item and enabling keyword-based classification of information." More simply put (with due credit to Flickr.com): tags are like keyword or category labels, and they can help visitors find items which have something in common.
