It is Wrike, a <a href="http://www.wrike.com" title="Wrike" rel="nofollow">web based tool integrated with e-mail</a>. It allows you to tag e-mails, share and collaborate on them. Then you can organize these tasks in projects and manage them. You can also have a picture of projects switching to the timeline view.

Email tagging in Outlook for now, but we're also experimenting with using the same tags for files, web pages, blogs, wikis, etc. Basically an aggregation mechanism using tags.
