First stop: Amazon. I searched for the book Marley and Me by John Grogan. Tags associated with this book were "dogs," "Marley," "John Grogan," and "worst dog." They were pretty general, obviously fit the book, and I would say could be helpful if a person were familiar with author John Grogan and wanted to read another of his books, liked dog books and wanted to read another, or were fed up with their dog and wanted to reassure his or herself that there are worse dogs out there. In general, since these things might all lead to someone purchasing a book, I think tags are helpful to Amazon's business.
To my own Flickr pictures, I added tags. These tags included: schoodle, lab, chihuahua, dog, Grace, and Elvis. These tags are helpful within my own account because if I want to search for a picture, I can click on tags and a list of key words (tags) appears. This allows me to quickly find the pictures I am interested in. When looking at pictures throughout Flickr, tags are helpful key words that let you search for different things.
