How to tag OSX addresses
Ed Vielmetti points out an easy way to tag your Mac OS X Address Book entries, which is adding a custom field for things like “friend”, etc. Which can then be searchable. I think I’m going to do that for things like Christmas cards, birthdays in certain months, etc.

Hi Elena!
One of the commenters on my blog noted that this doesn’t quite work right if you’re using the Address Book’s “smart folders”, since that feature doesn’t search those fields. Haven’t tried that myself.
As for myself, I’m waiting for the service that I feed in an address book and get back a stack of pre-stamped postcards ready to scribble a little note on and mail.

In the for what it’s worth department -
I still tag my address book cards but it’s generally with a tag in the comments field not in a special tag field. That lets me use smart groups to pull them out. I created a set of smart groups like
// gopher
// wais
which correspond to searches for
gopher
wais
in the text. simple enough.
