What is the real difference between Tags and categories

Technorati was very good to me a 5 or so years ago...

Haven't really had a look at it for a long time...

Nice analogy Walrus...

What I do know is Google in particular sends folks to me more from tags than catergories...

What I noticed is that when I quit bothering with Technorati my comment spam went way down.

I had felt for awhile that Technorati was the source of lots of the comment spam I was getting but one day when I was checking traffic stats and noticed that a damn comment spammer was third in my referrers list. Well, I haven't submitted a site there since.

They were really good to me too, in the early days, but now I don't see much use for it.

I see tags as an additional navigation tool for surfers. An appealing tag in a strategic position at the and of an article can be an incentive to digg deeper into the blog.

I find it useless for seo or site structure unless you interlink tags from within articles on a more or less frequent basis.
