Are you a tag dummy?

As a sourcer enthralled with all the new web 2.0 technology and widgets out there, I'm always wondering how this stuff can be used in sourcing. Tags being the topic of this and future riffs. I've been trying to discover a practical way for tags to be useful to the sourcer. Jobster has been doing some cool things of late, and for a company playing in the recruiting/employment technology arena, I think they're on the right track for how tags can be used in the employment/recruiting arena. As a bit of a neo-phyte when it comes to tags and how I can personally get them into my blog and use them to up my exposure etc. I've been looking for something comprehensive for a 'Tag Dummy' like me. Here it is. Whoever this cat is, a brit I think, this post is a great primer on tags & Technorati for the newbie. It also references another great tool for 'html dummies' (like me) that will help you generate the necessary html code to get tags into your blog postings. More to come from me as I find other ways to use tags for finding folks. Cheers.
