	* A feed is a streaming tag library. But for most purposes they're the same thing. If you "follow" or "subscribe to" real-time alerts of a certain kind (for example, all items with a ~~given~~ tag), we call that set of items a ''feed''. If you consult the same set of items online without following or subscribing to anything, we call it a ''tag library''. In contexts where the items themselves matter more than how a user chooses to view them, it's fair to use the terms interchangeably.		* A feed is a streaming tag library.
