I liked tag cloud but in technical webinar of Google tag manager I wasn't able to find tags on webpage. So I need to understand the difference.
Different kinds of tags. The "tag" that "Tag cloud" refers to are short usually single-word textual descriptions of content. For instance, you've tagged this question with "google" "marketing" "tag-cloud" and "google-tag-manager".
The "tag"s that are managed by Google Tag Manager are HTML tags for services like Google Analytics or other services that provide you with HTML that you need to include in your site to work.
The two have nothing to do with one another, other than the word "tag" which has many meanings.

Can anybody tell me that why we use meta tag in html
Meta tags helps your website getting found by search engines like Google, Bing etc.
When you use it the right way in combination with some landing page you can get found in the best way. Another method is the use of link-exchange. If you use the 3 methods it could get your websites way better indexed by google then if you only use the meta-tags.
If you want to know more about it, just search on google with keywords: landing page, indexed by google, meta-tags, link-exchange etc.
Meta tags describe your page. Search engines have famously used them to help index your pages. Its got nothing to do with asp.net but rather the HTML output that is produced. See here for more information. Be aware although that search engines rely less on them as they do now and incorporate other factors into their indexing.
Meta tags are used for many things. The most important use for meta tags would be probably for SEO purposes. The meta description is probably one of the most important parts of the meta tag because that is what shows up under the title on Search Engines such as Google or Yahoo. The following link will give you more information about SEO and how you can use the meta tag. https://blog.kissmetrics.com/website-source-code-seo/
The meta tag can also do many other things such as set the author, viewport and keywords of a web page. Here is a link that will tell you a lot more about what the meta tag is used for. https://www.w3schools.com/Tags/tag_meta.asp
I have pages on my site of some famous personalities, I want to embed short description of them from wikipedia (similar to what google shows on the side when you search for subject that exists on wikipedia), and have the possibility to style the text too, is there a ways to do that dynamically?
You can actually use the Freebase API (in particular, the Topic API) to do something like this. Basically, you want to fetch the /common/topic/description attribute, like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/topic/m/02mjmr?filter=/common/topic/description
(You can also use Freebase to get most of the other attributes that display in the Knowledge Graph).
Today I came across a <link rel="image_src"> tag. I don't know about it, so I use google. Google tell me that this tag are similar to og:image. So I came to open graph main site to read about it http://ogp.me/, but i found nothing about link rel="image_src". So this tag is replacement to meta property="og:image" or is in special tag in another specification ? How use this tag or for what is used?
The rel attribute specifies the type of the link, i.e. the kind of the relationship between the document and the linked resource. Usually just a few keywords, like stylesheet and icon, are used. Although many other keywords have been proposed and registered, most of them are write-only: they are meant to express something, but nobody cares (no software uses the information).
The extension mechanisms of HTML5 include, in the description of link types, a somewhat obscure mechanism that allows, in theory, anyone register his favorite keyword in the existing rel values wiki to make documents using it as rel value “conforming”.
And image_src has indeed been registered there, with the information that it is used to “specify a Webpage Icon for use by Facebook, Yahoo, Digg, etc.”, no specification has been identified but an article about it is linked to, and it is “probably redundant with rel=icon”.
You can use this tag to use an image as the thumb for link share.
When someone posts a link to your site on social media, such as Facebook, the image that is displayed with your link is usually the first one in your code. This may not be the image that best fits defines your site, and it may not fit well in the small box that Facebook posts. The link rel="image_src" tag lets you control what image (or images, you can have more than one by stacking separate references) is displayed alongside your link.

I encountered many sites including stackoverflow.com whose page source do not show META tags like keywords, description.
I am just wandering is it because they blocked it by some sort of tech or they just drop them since, as I know, those tags are not so much valuable as before.
If they blacked them, then what kind of software or tech do they need. If not then how Google extract description from those sites when Google displays search results?
Lot of dumb questions, thanks for your time and reply!
Any input is appreciated!
They're not MATA tags, they're META tags. They are not as important as the actual content of your site and the other sites that link to yours, since it's well known that meta tag content is easier to abuse and misrepresent. Meta elements are more useful in the areas where there is no benefit from such abuse, eg. content encoding or language, but some of this data can be sent by the web server in the HTTP headers anyway. So you rarely, if ever, need any meta elements.
You don't need any sort of technology to 'block' meta tags. Every tag is just a bit of text you insert into your HTML. If you don't want to send out a meta tag, you just don't write it into the HTML.
If you want specific information on how Google views your site then you could start with their webmasters page.
Just had a look around on Google .. may be followings help you something.
Avoid the META keyword tag!
Do not use the meta keywords tag. Many
people still think of this as a quick
fix for SEO. It’s not. Google no
longer uses it. In fact, it is likely
that Google penalizes sites that do
employ the meta keywords tag. Yahoo is
perhaps the only search engine that
still uses the meta keywords tag but
places very little weight on it.
Death of META Tag
pretty old link though
"In the past we have indexed the meta
keywords tag but have found that the
high incidence of keyword repetition
and spam made it an unreliable
indication of site content and
quality. We do continue to look at
this issue, and may re-include them if
the perceived quality improves over
time," said Jon Glick, AltaVista's
director of internet search.
