Amazon.com Starts Tagging
Communications Strategist

I just bought a book on Amazon.com and saw the site’s latest feature  - tags! When you view some items such as books or cds (tags haven’t been  incorporated throughout the entire site yet), there’s an area where you can add a tag. And if you scroll down past the familiar categorizations such as "Customers who viewed this book also viewed" you’ll see what other people tagged the item and who they are.
