Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for marking content in substantially real-time messaging applications using a mobile communication device. A marking application in cooperation with a messaging application displays a message communication on a graphical user interface of the mobile communication device, enables navigation to a selected position within the message communication and receives a signal to mark the selected position with a tag. A manually actuated signal is provided to mark the selected position within the message communication and receive an automatically actuated signal to mark a portion of the message communication based on a pre-defined rule. Receiving the manually actuated signal includes receiving one of: a first actuation signal from a user-selected key on a keyboard or a second actuation signal from a user-selected icon on the graphical user interface. The mobile communication device allows users to more efficiently tag and retrieve content transmitted in substantially real-time.
