Tagging

Tagging is labeling important data on the Internet. There is so much information on the "Net" when researching data and tagging is a great way of keeping track of the information you want to use and share. Simply create an account with a site such as flickr.com Label or tag information that is important to your research with key words. When using the search bar and entering keywords, this specific information will be retrieved. This information is not only personally helpful but also part of a huge social dimension. Tags created allow sites such as flicckr to better organize their information with the keywords individuals have created.

Below are the three links to more information on tagging.
