Metadata and Spotlight equals filing system

Lifehacker shows us how we can just dump all our files into the 'Documents' folder and still find things very quickly. What sort of black magic do you have to use? Why, just a little Spotlight and some 'tagging.' You tag your files by inserting relevant information into the comments section of each file (if you do a 'Get Info' on a file that you have on your desktop, or anywhere else, you'll notice that there is a comments section). Now, it wouldn't be cool if you had to do this manually, but read the article and you will find out a few tips to make tagging easy as pie. Mmm, metadata pie.
