Taglocity was ranked #18 on the Pick20 Web 2.0 list by KPMG and Backbone Magazine. The PICK20 Web 2.0 Award recognizes Canadian companies that are driving innovation and changing the way we use the Internet.
We've been working on ways to unlock knowledge from inboxes and mitigate the effects of email overload with web technologies for over two years now so it's great to have that acknowledged!
The judges explain their selection of Taglocity as follows:
By working to manage the flood of e-mail, Taglocity "targets a real problem using innovative solutions," Geist said. According to Napier, "a solution like Taglocity, that combines both e-mail management with collaboration and knowledge-sharing tools like micro-messaging, enables knowledge workers to capture, organize and share information from within Outlook without having to jump to or learn a different platform or application." O'Connor Clarke concurred. "Taglocity addresses the problem right inside the knowledge worker's main desktop environment: Outlook. It requires only small changes to existing behaviour to show immediate productivity benefits. Excellent stuff."

I'm following the very interesting Obama/McCain contest on cable news TV and I sometimes find myself wondering what it's like to be interviewed on a talk show. Well, last weekend I got a notion of it and I have to admit, I found it quite enjoyable. I was interviewed by Michael Kastler, host of TechTalk on Chicago WRLR 98.3FM radio about Taglocity - the past, present and future.
I guess it helps a lot when the host is a big fan - Michael called Taglocity a cool product that he uses everyday. He also said he was a huge follower of David Allen's GTD methodology and that Taglocity "synchronizes into it so well".
Michael shared with the listeners how it allowed him to go from around 90 folders to 3 or 4 folders and said "I can't stress enough for me how much of a life change, a game changer for the way that I interface with email just to have what sounds like a relatively simple thing, this tagging ability but combining it with search and conversation follow, and bang, all of sudden you see your flow and the amount of time you spend dealing with email drop significantly."
Yesterday the podcast was posted online so you can listen to it here if you're interested (our interview starts about 28 minutes into the show if you want to jump to the Taglocity segment).
I owe Michael a big thanks for having me on his most enlightening tech show - thanks Michael!
