Tag Address Book using the Notes field
Ever wondered what the “Categories: Xxxxx” entries in the Notes field of your Address Book are and where they came from?
Christopher Breen describes 
at MacWorld’s 911 blog how they result from importing the contacts, either from your own Address Book or someone else’s.
He also points out that you can use the Notes field as a quick and dirty way to “tag” your contacts. By adding more specific information than Address Book’s other fields allow, you can then construct Smart Groups that will match on those keywords.
His drag ‘n’ drop trick will cleverly tag multiple contacts in this way at the same time.
