Actually, meta tags are more important than ever.
Google relies heavily on pagerank but meta tags
and content are still king.

With Inktomi's, Fast's and AskJeeves guaranteed inclusion 
programs, the only thing they index on your page is your
meta tags.  Also, with direct xml feeds into the search
engines, they don't even spider your site because they're
only interested in the information you provide them which
is defaulted to the meta information.

Search engines have come a long way but are still as
archaic as ever in that most rely heavily on meta tags.
Since, many second-tier search engines use the major engines
listed above as their source for results, it's important to
have your tags optimized to ensure good ranking.

Do Meta Tags really matter anymore with regards to positioning a website
within search engines?

Does Google even look at Meta Tags?

And what is a Meta Spider? :)
