IF YOU’RE A HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE, TAGS HELP YOU FIND THE HOT SPOTS

Tags are keywords that help to categorize blogs and Trade Notes and make it much easier to find what you're looking for within the Trader Network. Think of tags like labels on a filing folder: anyone can add a tag to a piece of content, so that they and other folks can find that content easily later on. Here are the most popular ones in the trader network right now.
