Tagging: Why we use it and where it's going

Andrew :

Tagging is one of the most widely-implemented functions in all of web software. It's truly ubiquitous in its ability to solve data linking issues, and knows little boundaries in the type of data it's linking. You see it used in news sites to denote commonality across the subject of articles, and you see it in commercial sites like Amazon to lump together products into different areas. In fact, it's quite difficult to imagine situations where tagging wouldn't make sense.
