I'm amazed that Google Docs doesn't have a tagging system similar to the one you can use in Gmail, but given this limitation, I created my own tagging system.
I precede each document with a code that makes it simpler to find from the search box. For example I precede each FierceContentManagement post with the code 'FCM'.
When I conduct a search, I enter FCM and Google displays all docs that begin with that code in chronological order.
It's a simple system for overcoming a big limitation. Let's hope Google actually adds tagging at some point, but until it does, this should help.
We must be thinking along the same lines. That's exactly what I do.

Great minds, Scott. :-)

Surely multiple folders achieve the same thing?

Orkney,
Folders can achieve this, but they require an explicit step to make. I tend to use these docs as one and done, so tagging is just a simple way to track my work in the event I need to access a document again.
I was tempted to say, yes they do and call me Shirley (a little Airplane movie humor).
Thanks for your comment.
Ron
