Tag or Label?
Tags are one of the defining elements of Web 2.0. When Google started gmail, it used the term label instead of the term tag. When Google developed the new version of Blogger, it also again used the term labels instead of tags.

I wondered why Google used this term instead of the other popular one. My first impression was that Google is trying to have its own terminology, same thing for instance as when Netscape Navigator had "bookmarks" while Internet Explorer has "favorites", another sTag or Label?

People’s money in Swiss banks must be returned: Nawaz Sharif

Tag or Label?
Tags are one of the defining elements of Web 2.0. When Google started gmail, it used the term label instead of the term tag. When Google developed the new version of Blogger, it also again used the term labels instead of tags.

I wondered why Google used this term instead of the other popular one. My first impression was that Google is trying to have its own terminology, same thing for instance as when Netscape Navigator had "bookmarks" while Internet Explorer has "favorites", another similar pair of terms in the two browsers is "reload" and "refresh" and so on.

When Google used the term label instead of tags in its new version of Blogger I said to myself this might be to continue on the same tradition of gmail. But I noticed something that made me get puzzled. I found that in Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google does not use the term label and used the term tag instead! That was really puzzling to me and got me thinking in a different path asking myself if the two terms actually had different meanings.

Perhaps Google is still using the term tag in Google Docs & Spreadsheets as a continuation from its predecessor Writely. I suggest that Google would unify its terminology and use the term label there as well. Or do you think Google should instead go with the rest of the world and use the popular and almost standard term tag in gmail, Blogger and any other of its services?

By the way, Google uses the term labels in Google Bookmarks while it uses the term tags in Google Reader. Is this making the situation more puzzling or is it giving any clues to the existence of some subtle difference between a label and a tag?

In Google Video and in Picasa Web Albums, Google uses the term tag. Are you starting to see a common thread now and a consistent pattern emerging on when to use the term tag and when to use the other term label, or is it getting even more puzzling?

e description. I had too much free time on my hands, so I ran some some tests and this is what I found out.


I. Where does Facebook get the description?

Facebook pulls the description from the following sources, in this order:

First it looks for a description meta tag, and uses the content as description.
If there is no description meta tag found, Facebook looks for the first
(paragraph) tag that contains at least 120 characters. (Do you know why comments and blog description are picked as description? Because each of them is enclosed with a p tag, that’s why).
If none of the above is available, it leaves the description spot blank.

According to Facebook, it scrapes your page every 24 hours to ensure the description (and other share data) are up to date. However, you can manually refresh it by entering the post URL into the Facebook URL Linter.


II. What can you do to fix this?

You can do one of the followings to solve the problem:

Add description meta tag to post pages.
But this a bad idea (for a Blogger blog). DON’T CHOOSE THIS METHOD! I’m not going to explain the whys here. You can read my previous post on description meta tag for the explanation.
Update Mar 2011: As it turns out Blogger now provides a (unique) snippet for each blog post, which in turn can be used as meta description. See below for instructions.
Add a
tag to your posts.
The absence of
tags in Blogger post is the root of the problem in my opinion. Luckily you can add the tag easily enough. I explain it below.

III. How to add post snippet description meta tag

The correct place for adding a description meta tag is in the section of your template. However in this case you have to add it to the blog post widget template since the post snippet data tag only works when within the widget template. So if you don’t mind the invalid markup (due to meta tag outside the head), here’s how:

Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.
Back up your template.
Tick the Expand Widget Templates check box on top right of the HTML window.
Look for the following line in your HTML code:

Baloch Students shout Long Live Pakistan

The Obama administration on Monday plans to outline how U.S. laws empower the government to kill Americans overseas who engage in terrorism against their home country, a source familiar with the matter said, months after a drone strike killed a U.S.-born cleric who plotted attacks from Yemen. Civil liberties groups have been pressuring the administration to offer justification for what has been described as a top-secret "targeted kill" program in which Americans who have joined al Qaeda or other militants are deemed legitimate targets to be killed overseas.
