User Defined Groups in Gmail

Gmail needs a way to quickly add senders into your own easily defined groups.
My inbox has thousands of emails in it, so it's easy to overlook an important email from a friend, family member or business contact. What I'd like to see is an option that lets me create my own categories, then assign a sender to one of these categories with a single click.
Then, whenever an email comes in it can be automatically assigned the category tags so I can find them.
Tags can be broad, such as Friends, Family, Business, or very specific, such as School Soccer Team Parents.
Technically, Google already has the ability to create your own tags, and they even have a system to let you create your own rules and filters to assign people into your tags, but it's not easy to set up. What they need to do is have a simple option next to a sender's email address that says "Assign to group". All you would need to do is put a checkbox next to each group the sender belongs to and it will tag every email from that sender as part of the group.
