This week there were several conversations on the Internet about tagging photos, videos, notes and status updates on Facebook.  Tagging one of the mentioned items puts that item into the News Feed of the person who was tagged. Originally it was to be able to share, with your friends, the pictures you took of them.

However, now tagging is taking on a new twist as a way to promote your “stuff” in someone else’s news feed. When used inappropriately it can be considered spam. In this episode Barbara Eldridge, Mind Masters, and I talked about tagging, how to use it, and more importantly how not to use it.
