Tagging is a great way to store digital resources. It is quick and helps one sort a lot of information quickly. I feel like the Internet itself is set up like one large tag. When I do a google search, I type in key words (tags) to find what I am looking for.
The advantages of tagging are depending on the type of tag. It could pinpoint information quickly and sort through a multitude of websites on a signal topic, or if tagged incorrectly you may miss information that you are looking for.
I think it is important to think about your audience before tagging, avoid putting two words together into one, watch punctuation, and remember that you can always change the tag if it is not working.
Flexibility is the key!
