Apparently appeals mostly to pilers, of which I am one in both worlds.

The exception to this seems to be when I want to browse the latest news headlines or videos. Then I like to choose a category and see what’s out there because I won’t ever be able to think of a keyword for every new concept out there.

This is a great way to identify two types of personalities and might just help bridge some gaps, keep up the great work!

Thanks, -Matt

I use Beagle to open most stuff in my Linux desktop and stick almost everything in either Documents or Data folders. Documents are stuff I’ve done and Data is everything else. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get into the habit of completely buying into this process. I’m thinking I need a couple of other boxes to stick stuff I’m working on into, and then a way to archive completed stuff like in Gmail.

A Desktop folder called Working could perhaps serve as my filesystem equivalent to the Gmail inbox. Another one that links to my Data folder and one more that links to Documents might work like the Archive button in Gmail. Then I just need desktop tagging and I would be all set.

I’m trying out a program that some students in Austria are developing called Tag2Find http://www.tag2find.com/.
It’s early days, but it could be the killer file management app that I’ve been looking for; I do wish it had documentation though!
