Outlook tagging

November 22nd, 2006

Finally I’ve found what I’ve been looking for.  All the Web 2.0 apps out there have tagging (Gmail, Flickr and even Wordpress) that is very easy to do and lets you tag up any content (photos or email) with categories of information.  I got a plug-in called Taglocity that lets me do the same thing for Outlook email which means I can very quickly and easily tag up emails.  It also allows auto-tagging based on Bayesian filters as well as tagging email that gets sent (so when people reply it comes back pretagged by you).  Finally you can do the tag-cloud kind of filtering which shows you how many emails have been classified with which tags.  Overall, I think it will be fantastic and should improve my email management by leaps and bounds.
