Thanks for the feedback. FWIW, "Literacy" was meant to be for  
"Writing" and "Reading" (we started with the two as separate tags but  
Activities seems to overlap so much "Literacy" would cover both). And  
"Communication" was to try and cover Activities like Chat, Video Chat,  
IRC, and any other email/messaging/comms type Activities. Without  
"Communication", these would likely end up at "Utilities".
