Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 deryni]:
 > Groups *are* tags on any protocol that supports having a buddy in more
 than one group. The interface allowing you to easily add a user to another
 group is all that's missing in pidgin, and a plugin can easily add that in
 the same way pidgin now has the "Move To" right-click menu.

 Sure. The use of tags would be to help in searchs. Surely groups can be
 used for that, but it'd be necessary a tool "Copy To" in addition to the
 current "Move To", so that one can easily have one contact and more than 1
 group.

 The kind of search tags (in this case groups) help the most are those
 'real time filters'. You type the tag and all the contacts that doesn't
 have that tag are not displayed (I'm really a fan of such a thing).
