Meta-tags are not dead - Danny's article was written almost 3 years ago, and things have changed since.

Yahoo! does use the meta-tags for ranking purposes, and although it is difficult to prove if Google do, Google does like to write up the meta-description in the search results in association with your site pages.

So, no, meta-tags are definitely not dead - but their purpose has distinctly changed over the past 3 years.

yes meta tags are not dead . reason is internet gaints like google/yahoo are still using meta tags . if search engines are not showing desired description for your site you have to still use meta tags to change description of your site .
