Thank you. But I think it's only recently become common. I've been
online since...I don't remember when, maybe 93'. And only in the last
few months have I seen this term posted all over the place. But I
guess every so often computer users get bored and have to either make
things up or resurrect old terms. The last time I was confused about a
search term was the "Bolian"(sp) search.
You can probably tell I'm not going to be the inventor of the next
big search engine empire. Instead I'm working on my tornado busting
idea. Anyone have a spare satellite with microwave beam technology?

No, a 'tag' is a common search term.
e.g. A post about Holsteins could include the tags:
milk,cows,bulls,holstein . These are meant to make searching for the
topic easier. I'm also seeing a lot of search 'clouds' - graphic
representations of the most used search terms/tags. Such a cloud may
lead you to information without your needing to think of the 'proper'
search term.
What's odd is a lot of software now is trying to get users to enter
tags separately, but it seems to me as long as the relevant words are
used in the posts then search engines shouldn't need the help to find
things.

Could someone explain to me what a "tag" is? I keep seeing
this term
around the web. And it just seemed to crop up not to long ago. If
it's what
I think it is, didn't we used to call these links?
