Use of Tags

I just finished learning about categories v tags in wordpress. Just curious though, what is the value of including tags? Is this still a common practice?

Thanks!

Found this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/

"Your posts will appear in the Topics listings of any tags or categories you use. Therefore, assigning tags and categories to your post increases the chance that other WordPress.com users will see your content."

Hope this helps!
