Meta tags were huge part of SEO in last few years but now major SE don't pay attention, however it is a good suggestion to have them because it helps the SE robots for instructions. The company, SEO specialist, who do seo for me also advice me to have them for better results. You can find a good free meta tags generator here.
edit:seo companies are capable of advertising their services

I use only title tag keywords tag and description tag for my meta data. because these are only the search engines and bots friendly tags. they check information in title tag and then check the relevancy in description and keywords tag and at the end they check the same keywords in website content and focused keywords which are in heading tags and anchor tags.
thanks.

While the keyword tag is beginning to become fairly useless, the description tag isn't entirely dead yet. It still enables you to control the descriptions of your pages in FAST, Teoma and some other engines. Use it and strive to write an inspiring description that draws people to your pages.

description metatags are important because they show in google and many user can pay attention at your site description to click the link, keywords looks that are not used, but I always try to put them

To me, it depends on the general traffic on a specific site to begin with and work around that. I would use keywords already established on a site, but just move things around in a cleaner fashion. The description, to me, is pretty important to. What one writes there determines if a person is curious enough to go to the specific site, look around, click on the different inside links, and maybe even purchase the product/service the site offers. True, it may not be as important as far as actual meta tags, but description plus a re-worked robot.txt file is the difference between 10 people going to the site/day and 100 or more

I use the following formula that I found in a helpful article by Jono Craig: * Title tag: 5 - 10 words, including the company name and relevant keywords, 90 characters with spaces * Description tag: Concise summary of the page, an upper limit of perhaps, 170 characters with spaces * Keyword tag: An upper limit of 900 characters with spaces - keep it simple and relevant. 10 - 20 Keywords per page

Its really confusing one as in many forums I have read that Meta tage have no importamce in these days and now Nikolas is telling that yes this is important. History is itself evident that earlier webmaster have used Meta Tags to manipulate the search engine results and hence google and big search engine stopped giving importance to them.

I use meta robots and meta description. Rarely I use meta keywords, because only for Yahoo matters. Meta description is really important from users point of views, because the users click on it if they find what they are looking for. I do optimize title tag very well too, as it is the most important factor onsite.

Answers.com also uses TopicName, topicUniqueTitle, taxonomy and toxonomy_site. Hadn't ran into those before. Seems like they would be useful but unfortunately spammable like keywords.

I guess they use this tags for internal searches, finally they are also a search engine (YMC, do you ever searched answers.com for "web development"? hehe)

I think meta tags do have importance in rankings even now. Earlier I wasn't using meta tags for my forum and it wasn't ranking in the search engines. But after I edited the meta tags within 2-3 days, I could see my site on 2-3 page of google.

Meta tags are surely still important.Well I would like to share my own story.My site was on the third page for a key word on google.I added meta info to my site.My rankings jumped from page 3 to page one of google straight away.So I pretty much believe , they still hold importance.
