I’ve been wondering when the website will emerge that gathers quotations and allows for tagging them.… Like a del.icio.us for quotations.… Sounds like that’s what your proposing, but perhaps we need a totally separate site for that–so the two functions aren’t confused (“folksonomizing” quotes vs. microblogging).

Great idea–I’ve found myself posting things to twitter so I won’t forget them when I don’t have time even to put them in del.icio.us.

I’m also hoping Twitter will allow establishing different identities for one logon–so you could have your “quotation” identity and another identity. I want it so I can have different “groups” that I can switch around among

I’ve been pondering using Tumblogs for quotes–it does have RSS by the way. It’s a blog sans comments, and meant more for that sort of thing.

Jenny, If you use Outlook, you can use OutTwit to pull your tweets into Outlook, where you’ll be able to sort/categorize them like any other Outlook messages. Check it out, let us know what you think.

Thanks, Gary, but I don’t want the footprint of another blog, especially one I won’t be posting to frequently. In addition, these are quotes I hear others say, not me, so it doesn’t start out as voice and I’m usually not in a situation where I could talk into a phone. In most instances, I need to text rather than talk, as I’m in a room full of people.

What I’m really looking for are lightweight tools (like Twitter) that let me do a little heavy lifting on the way in (tagging) in order to stream content to specific people, groups, or places. So what I’m asking Twitter for is the ability for the texts I send to be tagged into that stream.

Create a quote blog for your quotes and just use Jott.com to post them every-time you say one, the RSS feed would come free.

You could probably put the same blog with different tags in Jott a few times and easier chose the other tags.

I’m talking nonsense since you didn’t mention Jott, but I think it’ll help your sorting (and you can verbalize the quotes in stead of typing).
