No, I don't study what the author used for tags or groups.

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to groups in general.

Pretty much a habit for me.  I'm not sure if there are any benefits to groups.

I don't have that much time to spend looking at tags of others.

Andrew Mooers - interesting observation. I have not joined any new group - except the one from Kathleen Daniels - market report group.

Sometimes I do, most time I do not.

I seldom look

I use groups but do not pay much attention to tags.  

I'll sometimes look at what they tag.  Especially if they're in a city that sounds local (but is actually in another state).  Never hurts to see if there is something worth adding.

Not really.

If one looks at anything long enough, it becomes its own world of intrigue

I started out using groups but have completely forgotten them lately.

I use groups but don't pay attention to what others are doing. Not sure what value they have these days. I also don't pay attention to what others use for tags

I really don't use groups nor pay much attention to tags that others use

Andrew,

No, we don't.  A

So many of my groups are ghost towns.

I do glance at tags when I like the post.

No longer a groupie

I'm very guilty of posting to my 5 favorite groups..... I never look at where others post....

When some one mentions a study, poll or such, i like to click on teh original story. I think it should always be linked

I don't pay attention! As for groups, not in years!

I've talked about tags ad nauseum & am not sure if people even still use them.

I no longer care about Groups & neither does anyone else. I think there are 3-4 that actually have a moderator that gives a hoot.

Why would I invent a new one if no one wants to join the ones currently in the works? I'd call it 'Let's Beat our Heads Against the Wall'.

I  never really pay attention to tags or groups.

I don't study others' tags or groups but, I do use them and I do switch up the groups, depending upon the post.

I've also joined new groups recently as well as having my 'favorites.' 

I have not used the group feature in years.

I'm a creature of habit.

I no longer spend any time with the groups and just delete most of the tags.
