Tagging has become one of the most essential and popular “to do’s” in the Web 2.0 environment. It’s almost impossible to use Twitter without tagging your followers or other Twitter users. Tagging also helps you increase your followers on Twitter and helps your tweets go viral. By using hastags effectively on Twitter you can to share your thoughts with your Twitter followers.
Tagging is also one of the most popular features on Facebook that gives you the ability to identify and reference friends in photos, videos and notes. Today Facebook introduced tagging in the status update feature. You can tag your friends and other Facebook profiles in your status update.
Now your Facebook status would look like a Twitter status update.
“Coffee with @ZK @Starbucks”
“Just Tweeted a Web Marketing post by @WebTrafficROI”
This is a great way to let your social network know what you are doing and talking about.
Facebook status tagging works in a similar way like the Twitter tagging ( Facebook recently announced a direct integration with Twitter ) when you write a status update on Facebook and want to add a friend’s name to something you are posting, just include the “@” symbol.
As you type the name of what you would like to reference, a drop down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and pages. You will soon be able to tag friends from applications and pages. The “@” symbol will not appear in your published status or post after you’ve added your tags.
Friends and references you tag in your Facebook status will be sent a notification and a wall post linking them to your post. Your friends have an option to remove tags from your post. Facebook hopes that you can share your thoughts with your network in a more meaningful and engaging manner.

Twitter is going to grow much more if events so far are anything to go by. It could also fall flat on its face when the next thing comes along however.

Twitter is popular because it is the latest one. People will shift to next buzz when it comes.
Social Media sites are really unpredictable as to where the “flow” of users are going to go to. That is why I believe independent is important with the combination of social networking.

Nowadays social media is really growing well and twitter is the example of it.
The post is very good, because at the moment social media is growing by each days it past. Although i am not so active on these kind of sites i am sure that is the best way to make new good friends. Keep up the good articles.
This is common to social networking. Tagging will help anyone to connect with other friends or meet new friends. That’s why it was called networking.
Even before Facebook implemented the feature, you already have it here in your blog through the KeywordLuv plugin. Hehe
Seriously, people who leave comments on blogs and forum members were already doing it in the past although without the link to the person they are replying too. So it just makes sense that Twitter and Facebook links the username with the @ tag.
Yes, this feature growing silently and it is very useful in many things.
BTW: I like this feature on your blog KeywordLUV, that is good.

I feel that you’re hitting the nail right on the head here. Social tagging is a human thing, and people are buying into it more and more. The bigger and more targeted your circle of “friends” is the more effective you’ll find tagging to be as a business tool.
At one stage I though facebook would just buy out twitter, but it sure is easier and cheaper to just copy them….heheheheh
Tagging is a big silent movement in social media marketing, which is something that you need to do if you want to maximize their potential both on Twitter and Facebook. To refer to comment above, I think that Facebook should buy out Twitter because Twitter isn’t even making any money! Maybe then their servers wouldn’t always be down…
This is a good feature because those who are used to Twitter, as today most of the people are, have already got that habit of tagging. Good that Facebook, which has become very popular has also integrated it

Tagging helps increase the interaction between friends or networks. It also helps interconnect different networks within yours to create an even bigger network. Hence, “socializing” is taken to the next level.

Even though our friends in social networking sites like Facebook and Friendster are just virtual friends. Meet-ups could happen, and one could find the woman of his dreams in the mentioned sites.
I have friends who meet their girlfriend in social networking sites. My friends and those girls are serious in entering a romantic relationship. I am happy for them.
I don’t want to lose my girl because I am so attached to her. But in case we grow up differently, maybe… maybe I won’t hesitate to try social networking sites to find someone out there who is also looking for love and passion.
I ain’t worry not having a girl because I have learned the technique, and I know deep inside me that I am a sincere romantic person.
Really? That’s impressive, I never know that facebook also can tagging like twitter. I am sure It will become interesting discussion between friends.
