Promoting Your Podcast from A to Z - Technorati Tags
Social media, such as podcasting, result in constant waves of new content hitting the Internet. The amount of information is staggering. How can an individual find something of interest, let alone get his own content noticed by others? Many web users have adopted a method of categorization called tagging, an informal and collaborative way for web users to categorize information on the Internet.
Millions of content creators and consumers freely choose words to describe photos, web sites, blog posts, podcasts and more. The idea is to allow the people who create and use the content to label it anyway they want. Many social networking sites use tagging for sharing and indexing web content.
Tagging makes it easier to find and share content on the Internet. What does tagging mean to you as a podcaster? To fully plug into the social media revolution, you need to take advantage of tagging.
