What platforms used it before Twitter?

Well, back then I wouldn’t call “blogs” a platform. But that’s what helped popularize tags.

Did blogs share tags? I can't recall, but I believe you. I do remember backlinks.

I don’t think so. At least not as a matter of course.

But they did help organize content, and helped search engines as metadata. At least before (?) SEO destroyed their utility.
