Taglocity is a tool for Outlook 2003 that allows you to tag messages in Outlook. Unless you've lived under a rock for the last year or so, or perhaps you don't visit too many social networking sites, whatever the case, tags or tagging are ways to organize information. While I have not tested the product, I like the concept, and it is a bit familiar...oh yeah, sounds oddly close to the concepts of labels in GMail!
Okay, Okay, it's not the same - personally I think GMail should change the term "label" to "tag" to better align itself with the mainstream social networks.
Back to the topic...Tags in Outlook is a fantastic way to better organize information. Too many times, I see upper level management (and really anyone with too much email) struggle to stay on top of important messages. In many cases, I try to let these people in on a little secret (it's not so secret!) called Search Folders. Search folders isn't so much about organizing messages as it is finding messages. Combine search folders with tagging and I can see mailbox organization come back to the norm for most people.
Okay, now I have convinced myself to try out the add-in...I'll let you know how it goes.
