**Tags**

 * **Tags are words used to describe a bookmark so that you locate it at a later time. With an organized tagging system, information can be located quickly or more efficiently. Carefully naming tags for resources can allow groups of people to share resources without constant communication. Groups can agree on tags names for collecting.**

**Tag Cloud**

 * **Clouds are a group of tags where the size of the tag reflects how often the tag is used. Tee more a tag is used the size of the word increases.**

**Bundle**

 * **Bundle are groups of tags grouped together for better referencing purposes. Bundle usually have something in common so the user can search the tag bundles for information or resource without having to go through unrelated items.**

**Mining**

 * **Social mining is a method used to develop or grow a network. It can be a network of resources or people. This is a process of viewing other networks and gathering resources or people others have in their network and adding it to your own. By seeing what resources others have, you can minimize and organize your efforts. You could think of it as a** [|Friend of A Friend]** kind of thing. Most people don't mind adding new people to their PLN, but they do want to know something about you. Include a brief message about you and why you are adding them to your PLN. It may be enough if you have a well developed profile somewhere that you could just link to in your request.
