1. Tagging
A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or
term assigned to a piece of information (such as
an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer
file).
Tagging was popularized by websites associated
with Web 2.0 and is an important feature of many
Web 2.0 services.
2. Labeling and tagging are carried out to perform
functions such as aiding in classification and
indicating online identity.
They may take the form of words, images, or other
identifying marks.
3. In 2003 social bookmarking websites like Delicious, provided
a way for its users to add “tags”
Delicious also provided browseable aggregated views of the
bookmarks of all users featuring a particular tag.

7. The success of Flickr and the influence of Delicious
popularized the concept, and other social
softwarewebsites – such
as YouTube, Technorati, and Last.fm – also implemented
tagging. "Labels" in Gmail are similar to tags.
8. Tag clouds
Websites that include tags often display collections of tags
as ”Tag clouds”
A tag cloud (word cloud, or weighted list in visual design)
is a visual representation for text data, typically used to
depict keyword metadata on websites, or to visualize free
form text.
9. Over-saturation of the tag cloud method led to a noted
decline of usage among these early adopters.
10. Folksonomy
A folksonomy is a system of classification derived from the
practice and method of collaboratively creating and
managing tags to annotate and categorize content
Some websites include tag clouds as a way to visualize tags in
a folksonomy. A good example of a social website that utilizes
folksonomy is 43 Things.
