Tags are only getting bigger. Only a matter of time until it’s implemented as a standard feature in WordPress! They’re a neat invention. Good for organizing. They have serious limitations, however..

Philipp Lenssen notes that the Google Reader Blog has announced that you can now share the content you read with your friends, family, colleagues and others. This is a big move for Google, what seems to be the first time they’ve allowed people to both tag and importantly share that tagged content with others.

Google’s had tagging in the form of “labels” at Gmail for some time and recently added (and also see here) bookmark/tagging features to the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer. However, items you tagged couldn’t be shared with others.

In contrast, Yahoo allows people to share tagged content through its My Web 2.0 service, not to mention owning two posterchilds of the tag-and-share movement, del.icio.us and Flickr.
