Taggin tha web :p
Tagging is a means of associating a thing with a word which is directly related to it. Thus if that identifying word is searched, this thing will come up. For example: A picture of a bird can be tagged or labeled by many different words e.g. feather, parrot, bird, rainforest etc. Having been identified by those words, when another Flickr user searches feather, parrot, bird, rainforest etc. that photo and all other photos, having been tagged by those words, will come up. Flickr enables people to tag pictures and video, Facebook enables the tagging of profiles and Delicious allows the tagging of web bookmarks.
