{quote format_guid="bbcode" comment_id="7295" user="Lugie"}Tags are a way of making content accessible without having to deal with a multi-tiered set of subcategories for sites with large amounts of data. It also helps ease the sense of ambiguity many large websites seem to have. It saves headaches all around. Further, tags are beneficial to site users, as other users (usually) can define appropriate tags for content they visit. This gives multiple approaches to all site content, making everything just that much easier to find for both humans as well as 'bots. They also present a nice searching opportunity, though I'm not sure its implemented at this point. Tags can quickly sum-up the content being searched, making searches faster, and "narrowing" results becomes as simple as clicking the mouse. Think about how you use categories when visiting unfamiliar websites, and even on places like eBay. Comparison: [b:9326eabf38]Categories:[/b:9326eabf38] users tend to use it when trying to grasp what your site offers. Categories also come into play when a user doesn't really know what they're looking for, and need to slowly pinpoint what they need. [b:9326eabf38]Tags:[/b:9326eabf38] familiar site visitors benefit the most from tags, allowing quick pinpointing of specific queries, and can easily "bounce off" to related topics based on content sharing one or more tags. Tags are a more liquid, flexible solution. Basically tags and categories do overlap, but both concepts have distinct qualities which cannot be forgotten (unless you don't have a large of complex set of content).{/quote}
