I am really excited to be part of this week's task, the precious ones have been very amazing and for the week it promises to great as well, I am @wallay, I am a newbie and I must say this about this our newbie tasks, I've certainly gained a lot from this wonderful initiatives and the tasks given to us every week has genuinely been making me got many things and how to run this platform well without any problems. Based on the meeting we had on Sunday, we asked to write it out as a post here, so we can be sure we really understood what had been explained. Here I go.

How do you distinguish tags from tokens? What are the similarities and differences, as well as the types, involved?

The different between tags and tokens is very straightforward to know, I will be explaining them one by one
tags:
They are the words or numbers that are seen below any post on hive blockchain, they can be in any form, so far, it was programmed that it is instructed to be used .in addition, the usage of tags enables curators to see your post, it now depends on them to curate it or not because even if it is seen, it is not sure whether they are going to curate it.
We have some general tags that can be used on any post of your choice, they are : Proofofbrain, Neoxian, Hive-engine and more that cannot be mentioned. And also, all the communities have their tags and their tags are always very compulsory and important if you want to be curated and not to be muted.
Tokens:
Tokens are simply known as little coins on hive blockchain, they are often used in the community, and it is significant to know some communities have their tokens, and every so often they use it for rewarding any post they like, in addition, some tags can be specifically given to the author to make use of.
There can both be used on the post, that is just the similarity they have, I mean the tags and tokens.
More so, community tokens can also be regarded as two layers tokens which are essential to its community, it are always used for its community activities, and we have many examples of them : pimp tokens, air hawk tokens, Leo tokens, bro tokens and many more.

Select at least two random community tribes of your choice, explore their frontend, and give us a review of what you think after going through your profile and feed.

We have ecency,peakd and many more, but I decided to choose these two because they are the ones I used the most.
Let's not forget that frontend are sites that partners with the hive blockchain and through them, we can have access to do many things on hive, they made it effortless to make use of the hive platform well.
We have other frontends like 3speak, leofinance.io, and a lot more not mentioned.
In my opinion, I prefer using PeakDand ecency because they are easy to use.
Allow me to explain further,

PeakD
It is the easiest frontend to use, as a newbie on the platform, I find it straightforward to use, it is very straightforward and understandable when we are to upvote, reblog and comment. And also the good thing about this frontend is that you can read other authors post with AI reader .you can quickly get to understand the post you are engaging on through the help AI reader.

Ecency
Ecency is also an excellent frontend that is effortless to use in terms of posting, voting and commenting, it is also understandable and straightforward too, here is the reason I might like ecency more than peakd , there are always ecency points to be given if you are using the frontend to engage.

What are tipping tokens? Give two examples and abuses of the service.

Tipping tokens can be regarded as tokens that can be used for tipping and gifting anyone,
examples of tokens you can tip and gift someone are : neoxag, dreemport, alive and so on.
And also some of these tokens can be used for curating yourself, examples are Neoxag and ecency point tokens.

In case you want to buy and sell any tribe of token, let me show the process, let's go there!!
Let's make use of tribaldex for this task,

Login into tribal dex account engine

This is how it looks like , after that follow the process.

Thank you for reading my post.

You did a great Job Wallay, explaining the concepts of tags and tokens, also sharing your experience with different frontends, Peakd is my favourite also, even though I use all frontend, and detailed explanation on tipping tokens, It's evident that you've put thought and effort into your post. Keep up the good work.
