You'd probably want to organize your tips using some sort of tag cloud system. An example is bibliographic system CiteULike (e.g. my refs are at http://www.citeulike.org/user/ctacmo). I don't really know if you can find any software to organize it, but I am pretty sure you can bookmark links to Statalist archive with tags using social bookmarking website (of which I don't know any, but I often see links such as "Post to to..." and a collection of 5 or so websites of this functionality). If you feel that your collection has become difficult to manage, you'd probably find yourself spending a day to reorganize it, and most researchers will find it too taxing.
