“I Like It” and “Tags & Notes”:

Tags & Notes help users to create and manage page tags and small notes. Users can create tags of their own and add page reference to those tags (public/private) just like shortcuts. Users can see public tags of other users. It's possible to tag a Internet site/page link with SharePoint 2010. For this a SharePoint link available in Tags & Notes window that needs to be added in Browser's favorites. Notes help to keep small text content and refer when required.

 A user can also mark a page if he/she liked that page. SharePoint 2010 adds two icons "I Like It" and "Tags & Notes" in all the pages to provide this functionality.

In short, a page can liked by a user, can add notes  and tags ( Public and Private ) to it  and if public can be seen by other users. As a matter of fact you can even use this feature in any external pages. 

Two icons, I like it and Tags& Notes,  are now available in all the pages of site you create.  When a user clicks on I like it, it is saved as bookmark and when he click on Tags and Notes, small snippets and description can be added to the page which can be set as  private or public by the user. The tags set as public can be used to suggest tags to other users and can be used in search which I will talk about in separate post. Tags can be added to a page or a document.
