One of the biggest issue with the use of tags is the fact that their users have the tendency to create a large number of items to describe the content and in the end you will end up with a unique tags for each piece f content they are creating.

In general this happens because the users forget their previous tags.

WordPress has tried to limit this behavior through 2 elements:
- autocomplete: once the user starts typing, the associated tags will start to appear eliminating misspellings and guiding the user to previous tags
- most popular tags: this appeals to the lazy user that writes about the same content periodically. Replacing typing with mouse clicks is a winner

Book a Flight – OpenJet.co.uk, originally uploaded by Janne L.

This is one original flight reservation interface that manages to reduce the number of clicks without reducing the number of features for the end user.
For example, most of the travel websites, for date reservation, require the user to click within the date text box in order to access the calendar selector.
