Tagging

Tagging seems to be well past the tipping point of acceptance. People in communities such as del.icio.us and flickr are tagging postings with keywords. This article in Business Week Online about Tagging: Keeping Tabs On The Net (Sept 26) describes how companies can use tags at popular Web community sites to monitor buzz. But tagging has potential for other business use in organizing information as seen in this bit -- "When marketing agency MarCom:Interactive holds seminars, it now creates resource pages with tags to blogs, Web sites, and research presented in the seminar. Afterwards, MarCom and its clients can add more links, keeping the discussion going."
