What are tags?
A tag is a (relevant) keyword or term associated attached to a piece of
information (like a forum post, blog comment or download) and enables
keyword-based classification. For example, when I was writing a blog post on the Q-Pulse product roadmap, I entered the tags "Q-Pulse, Roadmap, Product Roadmap 2008, 2008, etc". It is good practice for users of the community to tag their posts. It helps make the post more searchable (by populating the tag clouds seen in the forums), and helps with users populate site searches.
