By tagging I mean adding a bunch of tags describing for what the snippet is useful. Exmeple : #js (more or less obvious from the filetype) #googlemapsapi for a snippet which would show how to use the google maps API Then you would have a page with a tag cloud which allows to easily filter all the snippets (or that could be used in search). Quite close to the way tagging works in stackoverflow for instance
