Pew Research Center: Tagging Play

Not only can tags be personally useful to people who want easier ways to retrieve information and content that appealed to them, but they also have a social dimension. Your tags on flickr are added to the millions of other labels on the site; that allows flickr to organize information better for other searchers who use those keywords -- making this a classic example of bottom-up building of categories instead of top-down imposition of categories.
Your tags also allow flickr to highlight the most popular tags. These "tag clouds" show you the material that was tagged by others and they usually show the most popular tags by increasing the font size and boldness of the type
First, tagging lets us organize the vastness of the Web -- and even our email, as Gmail has shown -- using the categories that matter to us as individuals. You may want to tag, say, a Stephen King story as "horror," but maybe to me it's "ghost story" and to a literature professor it's "pop culture." Tagging lets us organize the Net our way.
here's an altruistic appeal to tagging as well. Tagging at public sites can give you a sense that you're adding to a shared stream of knowledge.
What doesn't? Tags work because they're so simple, but because they're so simple, they can be ambiguous. The tag "roman," for example, might refer to an Italian fountain, the director Roman Polanski, or the French word for "novel." So, there's a possibility for misunderstanding. And if you search for photos tagged "San Francisco," you may not see photos tagged "sf" or "Golden Gate." So, if you need to find everything about a topic, you often can't rely on tags.
