What are these 'Tags' I see all over the place?
Tags are what Site Nameuses to link to other relevant stuff on the site. When you set a Goal or create an event you’re given the option to put in some tags. Tags let people find your Goal or event more easily, and we use them in the other parts of the site too.
When you see a Tag and click on it, you see all the stuff which has that Tag.

In our experience, sponsors like to help with ambitious Goals that get lots of publicity.
To get some publicity for your Goal, you can try getting it featured on the frontpage by:
- Juicing it up with pictures, blogs, links and stuff
- Getting it cheered by loads of people (by sending it out all over the interweb)
- Make it ambitious and for a good cause
- Hack the Crazy Goals site (please don't)
