The Battle Tag is essentially a Username for battle.net which will first be used in the Diablo 3 game.

Additional Information: The Battletag is essentially another version of Blizzards Battle.net Real ID friend. The major difference is that it will use a tag that YOU choose + 4 random numbers on the end of it. For example, you could have majorpwnage#1234, majorpwnage being the tag you choose and #1234 being a random number that Battle.net assigns to you.

The system is meant for in-game friends to talk cross server and cross game without giving out your email, while the Real ID system is meant for real world friends and people you know really really well.

While it is first being introduced in Diablo 3, it will eventually go to Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft. An announcement of when WoW and Starcraft 2 functionality will be implemented has not been forthcoming as yet. It is said that in WoW the functionality will be the same as Real ID (instances, old raids, battlegrounds).
