A tag is a label of keyword or category that is used to help people find businesses on the Anpedia site faster and easier. By classifying or tagging the business, you are able to group the businesses into predefined categories for future recall. These groupings are open for everyone to add to.

Using tags is easy.  Here are several ways to use tags:

Find businesses with similar products or services. You want to eat steaks and you're looking for a few good steakhouses.  Your friends recommended you to try out ABC Restaurant and XYZ Restaurant because their steaks are the best in town.  After eating at these two restaurants, you wanted to go back to them in a month and have steaks again.  In order to help you find the restaurants in the future, you can tag the businesses as "best steak houses" or "best restaurant in town", and later view them in your personal account page. 

Organize based on your level of interest or experience with the businesses. For example, you're a sandwich junkie and you like to buy sandwiches at a small mom-and-pop shop in your city because its hot pastrami sandwich tastes good or the waiters provide outstanding services.  You can tag it as "favorite sandwich place", "hot pastrami" or "outstanding service restaurant".  Then share it with your friends and co-workers so they can check it out.  .

Remember the businesses or services you are planning to visit or use. Tagging several businesses or services with keywords will help you to remember them more easily as a way to facilitate searching. 

Sign in your account, select "My Account" on the upper right, and then click on the "My Tags" link.  Here you can see all of your tags and you can change the name of your tags by typing in a new name in the tag field and hit the "Rename" button. 

In the public page, you can view all popular tags, which are displayed via this link: http://directory.Anpedia.com/tag/.

Any tags you create are viewable by others. Our goal is to help people find businesses or services better. Your tags enable others to find interesting businesses or services; likewise, you can view how other people tag qualities that you might be interested in. Tagging allows you to improve searching and creates a community where people collectively share their thoughts and experience with others.

Try creating a tag and experiment with it.  You'll get the hang of it after several tries.  Remember that a tag is like a category label. 

We think the tagging feature is one of the most practical tools that Anpedia offers and we hope you like it!
