Thing 13

Tags are a great way to find information on similar topics. I use tags all the time – although not directly through delicious. The new PALS AquaBrowser online catalog has a tag cloud which I always suggest patrons to use. I remember when it went active. There was a comity to think of bad words (feel free to use your imagination) which would not appear as tags.

One thing is certain. Tag clouds are ever becoming more popular among search engines, browsers, and social networking sites. They are here to stay. Imagine, one day, when holographic technology has become a reality, using a tag cloud in thin air to search for what you need. Now, THAT’S cool.
