and, for the OP, don't forget that there are two other pieces of
information associated with any item: a CATEGORY and the file name.
This gives a total of 4 data that can be used to /label/ items of
interest, not counting the headline itself, of course.

Agenda views will easily display 3 of the 4 data (default is category,
todo state and tags, IRC).

I use categories for projects, tags for individuals and TODO states for
state information.
