Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating tag assignment to data objects as data objects are added to a tag-associated data-object storage system by users of the tag-associated data-object storage system and to facilitate subsequent display, access, and further characterization of data objects that already reside in the a tag-associated data-object storage system. Methods and systems of the present invention provide for automated tag suggestion to users in order to both increase usability of the interface provided to the tag-associated data-object storage systems as well as decrease the likelihood of unnecessary and unproductive tag proliferation within the tag-associated data-object storage system.

A method, apparatus, and a user interface for managing and prioritizing items in a list are provided. Each item in the list is associated with and displayed adjacent to a user interface control for flagging the associated list item. When selected, the user interface control is operative to flag the corresponding list item. Moreover, the user interface control is further operative to change its visual state to indicate that the corresponding list item is flagged. List items flagged by other users appear differently. When again selected, the user interface control is further operative to remove the flagged state for the corresponding item and to set the state of the item as completed.
