Like reblogging, tagging posts is a central feature of the tumblr platform. Tumblr uses 'free form' tagging which allows users to create their own custom tags. Tags serve many purposes. Tags allow blog owners to label their posts to locate them later and to allow others to do the same. Tags can also be used to offer additional commentary to a post (whether an original post or a reblog). And finally tags assist other readers in finding - or excluding- content from appearing on their dashboards.

Because fans rely heavily on tags to find content, some people annoyed when two or more series share the same tag, for example the American TV series and [[Kdrama]] [[Lie To Me]], or the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|animated TV series]] and the [[Avatar (2009 Film)|movie]] Avatar. <ref>http://plazmah.tumblr.com/post/9648185709/when-i-search-avatar-i-want-the-movie-with-the-blue (Accessed Sept. 1, 2011)</ref>

To many fans, tumblr tags are a way of expressing additional commentary. Because the tags are stripped when a post in reblog, it is a place here people can express themselves freely without worrying about exposure to a wider audience. But on occasion, a reblogger will find the tag commentary enticing and will include the tags in the body of her reblog.
