"tags" are a way to label things digitally so that they are easier to find later - Twitter uses these, as one example.
I found a nice solution: GitHubGist with an interface via Lepton, if anyone else would like to avoid rummaging through old code to find something (a function, an example, whatever). Organization looks pretty detailed and relatively user friendly, with labels for languages and tags. You can also make your "gists" public or private.
