It does allow them to be placed in several groups. I will think about the naming. Thanks.

Fred, any reason this wouldn't work for you?
"yes, my wife doesn't use gmail"

I considered that but it's not so hard to signup for a gmail account.. and once signed up she wouldn't have to ever login.. It is required for signup though.
I'm introducing my first startup called HobsonFiles in this blog post. It's basically a beefed up version of Google Contacts.

You've been working on this for over a year and still don't have anything to show? What Fred is asking for is a week long project for a couple people.
He's saying he's been working on it part-time. Maybe he's also providing much more than what Fred was asking for.
Me: Do groups work for you? Functionally they're the same thing. I would say that tags, labels, and groups are basically just groupings of items by some common attribute that you define. We allow you to search by group, location, name, and email address using substrings.
Generally speaking, when people speak of "groups", they are thinking that each item is in one (and only one) group; "tags" implies that each item can have many tags.
If HobsonFiles permits each contact to be in several "groups", I'd recommend you re-name them to "tags", to reduce friction.
