NEW YORK (AP) - Internet users are taking avidly to sites that let them label photos, movies and blogs with their own descriptive tags, providing a major new way of organizing information online, according to a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
The December survey, released Wednesday, found that 28 percent of Internet users have tagged content, and 7 percent have done so on a typical day.
Tagging is used to organize photos on Yahoo Inc.'s Flickr, Web site bookmarks on Yahoo's del.icio.us and video on Google Inc.'s YouTube. Google's Gmail e-mail service also uses a form of tagging, although its "labels" are for personal rather than group organizing.
