TAGS!

I'm highly surprised how no one (sorry, 1) has asked for one of the most important features - tags :)

I'm curious how tags would be used in a list app. I don't use tags in any of my applications and maybe I should...if I saw how they help. I use them in exploring blogs but can't see the comparable usage here.

Happy to explain:
Let's say you put time into compiling the "favourite movies of 2011" list, you want to be able to find it easily under a pile of dozens of lists - how u gonna do that?

One way is to search, true, but then you might get lots of results which might not be relevant (as the word "movie" might appear even in a lists of tasks you have such as "send mom the birthday movie")

Another use of tags is for context and other GTD purpouses - This way you can tag a list of things to do as @office and #10minTasks.

Many more uses.
Hope u get the idea ;)

Indeed...well put. Yes I can see how tags could essentially allow for the same list entry to be "virtually" in more than one list at a time without duplicating.

One could actually use a single master list and use the tags as a replacement for individual lists.

+1 thanks for sharing!
