Makes all lands swamps. Does this mean that you can tap them to add Black

, or is it just there for advantages like Swampwalk and stuff like that?

Both things. Being a swamp (like being an island, plains, mountain or forest) means the land can be tapped for the appropriate tpe of mana like a basic land, and that it has all incursions that being a swamp might cause in the game undergoing, although that DOESN`T make it a basic land. So, if you an Underground River and an Urborg are both in play, that means that the non-basic land Underground River will, aside from retaining all its qualities, be counted as a swamp, for stuff like Cabal Coffers, Korlash, etc. Also, it means you can tap it to add 1, to add U by taking 1 damage, to add B by taking one damage, or to add B. Why is this important to mention? Because if you want to abuse something like Darien, King of Kjeldor, and you need a black mana for a spell, you CAN add it TAKING the damage. Oh, and the following question gives quite a headache to answer, but is inevitable, so just believe me (and save me a couple of hours or so...): if both Blood Moon and Urborg are in play, Urborg WILL be turned into a mountain, so it’ll NOT turn other lands into swamps.

Thanks! That rocks! So if I run Urborg, my Forests become swamps and CANNOT tap for green, correct?

No. THe text is clear "Each land is a swamp in addition..." meaning they are ALSO swamps (btw, they’re swamps only after they are in play, so you can’t search your library for a Dryad Arbor using a Farseek if Urborg is out, it’ll only be ALSO a swamp AFTER it hits play.
On the same subject, notice the difference in relation to Blood Moon. It’s not "in addition", so Blood Moon is a TRUE multi-color hoser.
