How one site uses tags.

The Library Thing uses tags and clouds to give information about books. It helps to categorize and organize all the books available. The book I found was : 'Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today' by Tom Brokaw. Some of the top tags for ' Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today ' includes; 1960's, American History, Biography, politics, and sociology. I might add the tag interviews, people or key figures. I don't think I would change any of the tags given by the Library Thing. I wouldn't take any away either. They are all pretty much to the point and significant to the book.

Benefits of using a feed reader

Feed readers are used to show you new content from subscribed sites. They help manage the content you have or haven't read. They can display content from multiple feeds, and may be able to download new information directly to your device.

Two benefits of using a feed reader include; it allows you to always see new content available, it lets you choose which updated feeds you want to see.

Some drawbacks of feed readers include the fact that the display will not look the same as it does on the actual page. Sometimes, your feeds can pile up like spam mail, giving you too much to sort through.
