Similar to flags, really, except that you can't assign an icon to a text tag and you can create new text tags on-the-fly. It means you now have three different ways of tagging items (along with hierarchy, dates, effort, importance, urgency), all of which you can use for whatever you want. Text tags are meant to be more temporary and immediate.
Personally, I try to limit how many different types of metadata I tag items with, because they mean I spend more time managing my task list and, therefore, less time using it.
