Recently-launched “Tags” is designed to bring a little organization into that chaotic world of yours. Essentially, the application allows you to tag emails, photos, documents and more and allows you to do so while you&#8217;re either working within the file (in one of the many supported applications) or perusing files via Finder.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.fansoftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090209-gravityappstags.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2009-02-09_GravityApps-Tags" border="0" alt="2009-02-09_GravityApps-Tags" src="http://www.fansoftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090209-gravityappstags-thumb.png" width="260" height="258" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Tags from GravityApps (for Mac OSX)" href="http://gravityapps.com/news/files/8a62b0a33360e3d53105d33f0fb50975-10.html">Recently-launched</a> “Tags” is designed to bring a little organization into that chaotic world of yours. Essentially, the application allows you to <strong>tag emails, photos, documents and more</strong> and allows you to do so while you&#8217;re either working within the file (in one of the <a title="GravityApps: Tags Supported Apps" href="http://gravityapps.com/tags/supportedapps/">many supported applications</a>) or perusing files via Finder.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s great about <a title="GravityApps&#39; Tags Overview" href="http://gravityapps.com/tags/overview/">Tags</a> lies not only with the fact that it can aide in the organization of hundreds, if not thousands, of your files but also in its simplicity. How might you go about tagging a document? Why, <strong>Ctrl+Space</strong> of course. That&#8217;s it. Keying <strong>the shortcut again</strong> will switch to a search mode that <strong>will allow you to easily find files</strong> with certain keywords attached. (This follows in the footsteps of many great applications bringing pure-wonderfulness via a simple shortcut; <a title="Results for &quot;Google Desktop&quot; Articles on fansoftech.com" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=%22google+desktop%22+site%3Afansoftech.com">Google Desktop</a> and <a title="Fans of Tech: &quot;Featured Program for June 2006: Launchy&quot;" href="http://www.fansoftech.com/2006/06/09/the-featured-program-for-june-2006-launchy/">Launchy</a> being two apps off of the top of my head.)</p>
<p>(Note: I would have embedded the screencast here in order to provide you with a bit more information about the product but, unfortunately, it was only available as a QuickTime .mov &#8211; and I&#8217;ll have no part of that mess.)</p>
<p>The app, in the aging tradition of 3rd-party software titles for Mac OS, will require a little green to get started: <strong>$29</strong> to be precise. It&#8217;s a small price to pay for sanity.</p>
<p><strong>Windows Users</strong>: basic tagging functionality is built into Windows 7/Vista for certain file types but <strong>for an application similar to the Tags app</strong> mentioned above, Windows devotees can turn to <a title="tag2find: Enhanced Tagging for Windows" href="http://www.tag2find.com">tag2find</a>, a small freeware application that, unfortunately, lost funding in 2008. However, according to the official site, <a title="tag2find Blog: &quot;An Inconvenient Truth; but Also a Chance for the Future&quot;" href="http://blog.tag2find.com/2008/01/15/an-inconvinient-truth-but-also-a-chance-for-the-future/">there are plans to open tag2find up to the community</a> through an upcoming open-source version.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a title="Fans of Tech: &quot;Hulu Will Make a Difference&quot;" href="http://www.fansoftech.com/2007/11/03/hulu-will-make-a-difference/">site we all know and love for watching TV shows and movies online</a>, Hulu, recently debuted <a title="Hulu: Movie Trailers" href="http://www.hulu.com/movie-trailers">a special section for viewing upcoming movie trailers</a>. The quality is precisely the same as you’ll find with the other content so there aren’t really any surprises there… just a good, reliable source for viewing new trailers including     <br /><a title="Hulu: Movie Trailers: &quot;X-Men Origins: Wolverine&quot;" href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/50116/movie-trailers-x-men-origins-wolverine#s-p1-sr-i0">X-Men Origins: Wolverine</a>. As always, the content you discover on Hulu, including trailers, can be easily shared by email or even embedded on your own blog using a simple snippet of code.</p>
<p><a title="Trailer Addict: &quot;Your Daily Dose of Hi-Res Movie Trailers&quot;" href="http://www.traileraddict.com/">Trailer Addict</a>, “Your Daily Dose of Hi-Def Movie Trailers,” is an entire site dedicated the best eight minutes of any movie-going experience. In addition to recent trailers, the site also offers an immensely-comprehensive selection of trailers from years past. I did a search for Se7en (my personal favorite movie of all time) from 1995 and found the following trailer:</p>
<p><object width="450" height="232"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/1379"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/1379" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="450" height="232"></embed></object></p>
<p>As you can see from the above example, Trailer Addict, much like Hulu, offers the ability to embed its content into your own personal site and even provides you four different sizes from which to choose. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers">Apple Trailers</a>, for about a decade or more, has always been a reliable site through which to find and view the latest trailers from major and independent studios alike. In addition to consistently being updated throughout a week’s time, the site also offers the viewer a multitude of options for trailer-watchin’. You’ve got three options for high-definition (480p, 720p and 1080p) and three options for standard trailers (a.k.a. “low-def”) for the bandwidth-conscious (small, medium and large.) My only gripe with Apple’s Trailer site lies with its requirement of the QuickTime plugin. I honestly don’t know that I’d ever have a need for this plugin if it weren’t for Apple’s trailer site. QuickTime, in my humble opinion, is horrifically bloated and I tend to avoid it at all costs. But those HD trailers are certainly glorious, though…</p>
<p>Are there other sites out there on the Interwebs through which you prefer to find trailers? Let us know by dropping us a line in the comments. In the meantime, check out the original “trailer” (if you want to call it that) for the 1989, Tim Burton-directed <em>Batman</em>.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d be tempted to call this a pretty pointless piece of software if I didn&#8217;t find myself wanting it so badly. C&#8217;mon, surely somebody out there could whip this up for us spoiled Windows users. Anybody? No? Fine then.</p>
