AtnM Hi,
Is it possible to enable tags for public objects?
A use case would be to take advantage of salesforce's built in public tagging capabilities to display a related content panel based on the tags on dynamically generated web page.
So you could potentialy run out of tag intances just by tagging all of your contact's with a single tag?
Never mind, I think I follow - you can create 1000 public tags and have 50000 applications of those tags to objects. That could be 1 tag applied to 50000 objects but not likely :) .

This can be done, but not out of the box. Tags are enabled in API. so, you will need to build you custom controller and visualforce component.
You need to be careful about tag limits:
A user is limited to a maximum of:
* 500 unique personal tags
* 5,000 instances of personal tags applied to records
>> this means if you enable personal tags then per site this would be your limit
Across all users, an organization is limited to:
* 1,000 unique public tags
* 50,000 instances of public tags applied to records
* 5,000,000 instances of personal and public tags applied to records
>> this means if you enable public tags then this would be the limit across of all your sites
Thanks that makes sense,
Does that mean that if I had 5000 objects and attached one tag say "object" it would count as 5000 tags or would it count as just 1?
