Yesterday or so I got tagged from a blog, and better said this is not the first 
time I got tagged via blog. A blogger usually tagged his/her blogger friends using
a particular post (mostly containing question(s) which another bloggers who were
tagged should give an answer using a new post exactly more or less like the format
that has been given or foretold).

Blogger got some advantages using this tagged systems since its bring about possibility
of linking to and from other blogs via tags. So it would be possible to enrich incoming
links, meanwhile blogger can keep a good relationship with other blogger(s) who 
loves blog tagging systems.

According to [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_%28metadata%29), tags 
is…

> In online computer systems terminology, a tag is a non-hierarchical [keyword or term](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_term)
> assigned to a piece of information (such as an [internet bookmark](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bookmark),
> digital image, or [computer file](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_file)).
> This kind of [metadata](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata) helps describe 
> an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally
> chosen informally and personally by the item’s creator or by its viewer, depending
> on the system.

> Many [blog](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog) systems allow authors to add free-
> form tags to a post, along with (or instead of) placing the post into categories.
> For example, a post may display that it has been tagged with _baseball_ and _tickets_.
> Each of those tags is usually a [web link](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_link)
> leading to an index page listing all of the posts associated with that tag. The
> blog may have a sidebar listing all the tags in use on that blog, with each tag
> leading to an index page. To reclassify a post, an author edits its list of tags.
> All connections between posts are automatically tracked and updated by the blog
> software; there is no need to relocate the page within a complex hierarchy of 
> categories.

So basically we can understand if tagged is some kind of inclusion method which 
give a blogger a “bottom-up” classification for posts. And not about method to joining
someone in some short of actions. People were easily got the wrong idea about how
is tagging system should be used – and in some good manner this wrong idea become
so popular lately, more…, and more popular.

If you have a several questions that would be interesting to answer, why don’t you
make a … what was it called…? A matrix database or so…, where everybody can give
their answer perceptively. Or if you a blogger, why don’t you make a poll with [polldaddy](http://polldaddy.com/)
perhaps?

Sometimes tagging isn’t always about convenience or inconvenience thing. Like [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/cahya.legawa)
Photo Tag, people may laugh when his/her name tagged on some sexy nudity pictures
and makes fun of it. Others may react in contradiction.

So if have any concern with bloggers’ code of ethics or [bloggers’ code of conduct](http://blogging.wikia.com/wiki/Blog_Wiki:Blogger%27s_Code_of_Conduct),
do you think blog tagging is violation against both of them?

I myself prefer to give back link via post response, where I write a response for
a post using a post and giving link to the responded post within it. Instead of 
blog/blogger tagging, yes this one I would prefer. Why…?

 * It gives ultimate freedom to give or give not a back link;
 * Fair enough, so only create a response when a blogger fell urge for it by an 
   understandable interest;
 * Avoiding unethical blind/multi tagging which may lead to unwanted spamdexing;
 * etc…?

Well, I love being tagged, but I prefer else

 As newcomer.. i haven’t read the blogger’s code of ethic heheh.. i will 
read that.. \=> for my perception .. people who were tagged should not participate
if they dont want to…. like what i did, i tagged those person coz i appreciate them….
but its up to them to joint or not 🙂

again.. it’s my perception…

delia,

Tagged is something fun on blogsphere, people enjoy it so much. So if you enjoy 
it, I think there would be no problems 😉
 If there is a road in a village it should
be addressed for public transportation and so…, but sometimes you fell want to block
the road once and use it for playing football or create a village carnival – and
thats fun – nothing wrong with that 😀

So please, don’t trust whatever I wrote easily, since sometimes I don’t get it myself.
But at least I got you tagged with backlink there 😆
