Metadata is essential web writing skill (Gerry McGovern) -- "Metadata is what scan readers want. Within a matter of seconds, people scan a page to see if it's right for them. Scan readers love metadata. It quickly gives them context for the page they are on."

Metadata is also important in the context of RSS readers who want to know if it's worth clicking through to a website. I find it a bit annoying when people have RSS feeds, no categories, and create sloppy titles with little or no description.
