GoogleGroup has a "tagging" feature that allows you to select from a set of 
defined keywords to assign to your post.  When you compose a *new* post, 
look at the bottom of the form (below the main text input area), and you 
will see an input field and set of keywords to pick from.

However, this tagging has not proven to be very effective.  At one time, we 
permitted anyone to define a new tag value at will, and it became a useless 
mess of one-off tag values with tons of inconsistent usage.

In the past, we have also used subject headings to indicate general topical 
areas of interest.  Most notably, a few years ago when TW5 was relatively 
new, we encouraged users to put "[TWC]" in their subject text to 
distinguish postings related to TiddlyWiki Classic (version 2.x).  Use of 
subject headings is fairly visible, and relatively easy to search for.  
However, it can also suffer from the same "one-off" problem that 
GoogleGroups formal tagging system produced.  Nonetheless, it is often 
better than nothing.  Feel free to start putting subject headings on your 
postings, and let's see how it goes...
