While it is a feature of many social sharing sites, often times those very sites do not provide beginner-friendly instructions on how to use tags effectively. Whether you or not you understand how to use tags, chances are you have come across them if you have ever used blogs, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, or bookmarking sites such as Delicious.
