In the New Game of Tag, All of Us Are It –
As the name implies, tagging something means putting a virtual label on it. (Software lets you do this by simply typing a word; from then on, it’s linked to the content.) What the tag says is totally up to you. The important thing is that later you—and others—can find things simply by the tag name. Think of tagging as the opposite of search.
