This products let people share and tag personal goals online. They are a way to organise data online, a form of folksonomy (practice of collaborative categorization using freely chosen keywords).

Google already added a tagging feature to My Search History product. Another product that will have tags is Google Base.

Lack of precision and lack of a hierarchy for tags are issues that can be addressed using AdSense / Circa technology.
