With tag management, you just need to add one tag on each page, and that tag then calls all of your other tags. So now when you add a new page all you need to do is add a single tag not a list as long as your arm. When a tag changes you only need make one change in your tag management service and all the tags on your website are automatically updated. Additionally because the tags are cached on the tag-management service rather than fetched from all the different service websites, your page download speeds are also improved.

Stay.com apps for Android and iPhone
Stay.com has revamped their Android and iPhone apps with new downloadable maps of 120 cities around the world and has added the ability to share your maps and locations with colleagues and friends.
The new vector maps allow you to download and keep street maps complete with restaurants, bars and hotels for an entire city in just a few MBs, rather than the hundreds it would need with standard GIF and JPG based maps.
Additionally, integration with Facebook allows travellers to personalise their guides by requesting suggestions from friends, inviting fellow travellers to collaborate on their guides and accessing all Facebook friend check-ins.
The new social media sharing also allows you to get advice from colleagues on the best restaurants and attractions and for you to recommend places to other people in your circle. Additionally integration with Facebook allows travellers to personalise their guides by requesting suggestions from friends, inviting fellow travellers to collaborate on their guides and accessing all Facebook friend check-ins.
You can also create your own personal guides and any addition to the personal travel guide will be automatically synced once on Wi-Fi, incorporating input from multiple users – be they friends or fellow travellers.
The new downloadable maps also enable you to work out your destinations while you're offline, so that 7-hour plane journey can be put to good use, plus there are no unexpected roaming charges to bump up your phone bill.
