What is a TAG
A tag is like a personal keyword or category label. Tags are created every time someone searches for something on the Life On Long Island site, making it easy to find what you might be looking for. This is different than a normal search, because it shows you what the users at LifeOnLongIsland.com are thinking about and reviewing. TAGS are a great resource for finding out what's going on, what's hot, what people are talking about. Some rise and others fall in importance, depending on how the tag is being used.
So why use TAGS?
Tags keep found things found. Tags make it easy for you to find businesses or events again, using the terms you use to describe them. If you can't remember the name of that great French bistro you went to four months ago, just click on the FRENCH tag, and there it is!
Tags let you find things using other users' language. We might tag a restaurant as FRENCH, but someone else might tag it as PARIS CHEF. And you can see the most popular tags on LifeOnLongIsland.com - the size of each link shows how many records are tagged with that word or phrase. The bigger the word, the bigger and more powerful the tag!
Tags let you visualize Life On Long Island and see how others see it.
