Adding tags to content, whether blog post; video; photo; and so on, helps content creators organize content and, more importantly, helps your intended audience find it on the Internet. Tags can also be used to find resources such as photos, slide presentations, and articles to reference for use on your site. You're It!

Why should museums care about customer support? While I’ve never heard of a museum with such a heavy call volume that they’ve outsourced their front desk to Bangalore, many museums, small and large, suffer at the phones.
