"Tags" are keywords or labels that you can add to the bookmarks that you save, in order to help organize them. Instead of organizing bookmarks in the traditional single file folder structure, you can "tag" a bookmark with several labels.
Tagging is a new way to organize information. Tags can eliminate the need to remember where you saved a bookmark within a group of folders and sub-folders. You can search Yahoo! Bookmarks by any tag you create. You will then be able to view all bookmarks labeled with that tag.
A bookmark can have a multiple number of tags, so feel free tag as often or as much as you like. Keep in mind that some categories of information lend themselves more naturally to multiple tags.
For example, if you're bookmarking all the sites you found to while planning a vacation to Hawaii, you could label the bookmarked sites with the following tags: hawaii, travel, and guide. And when you want to find that information again, you can search for it by using any one or all of those tags.

Yes, tagging would be great if Yahoo! actually allowed you to search by tags. Good job Yahoo!
