Why oh why aren't there tags in Google Calendar? Oh my sweet Jeebus, I want tags for events! I get so tired ot trying to find every birthday, every speech, every "maybe" event. In fact, I try to use those terms — embedded tags! — in the content itself just so I can find the events again. Please, oh great Google, give us, your unworthy supplicants, calendar tags!
Wordie started out as a joke - a site that was all tags and no content. Now it's added tags. I have to run for a train, so I don't have time to step into its infinite loop of metareference, but John McGrath explains it all here. [Tags: tags tagging folksonomy google_calendar wordie ] Posted

Badly needed in the addressbook as well.

I'll second that. For the past few years I've been prefixing all the subject lines of work appointments in my calendar with a category, so that I can find them again when I'm doing invoices!

If Gcal does add tags, it would be nice if tags could also be added to the iCal spec, so when we want to share Gcal events with non-Gcal calendars, the tags can travel to other calendars too.
