If you still don’t get what tags are, the best explanation I’ve seen is this oldie/goodie post at Boing Boing. In simplest terms they say:

“Technorati Tags are like Del.icio.us Tags and Flickr Tags — they’re keywords you assign to your stuff. If you tag a Del.icio.us link with ‘Toronto’ and I tag a link with ‘Toronto,’ Del.icio.us will figure out that we’re both talking about the same thing and feed both links to anyone who’s searching for new links about Toronto. ”
