Tag Surfer
When you click on the Tag Surfer you will find out what people are talking about based on keywords. Note:
What is a keyword?
A keyword is a word or phrase that describes the main concepts of a topic. Before you start searching it is a good idea to brainstorm synonyms and combinations of terms. This will increase your chances of finding information on a topic.
For example, if your topic was capital punishment, other keywords might include death penalty, death sentence, execution, etc..
