"People Tagging" is a form of social tagging where people tag themselves! Each participant at a workshop or conference is given a self sticky label on which they can write a word or short phrase that says something about themselves or their interests - stuck close to their name badge this helps facilitate networking especially if done in conjunction with speed networking.
I have seen people tag themselves with words like "baby" or "Jesus" or even "coleslaw". Which invites conversation!
