Board source is dedicated to inspiring and supporting excellence in nonprofit governance and board and staff leadership. I can't say I make them a regular thing, but I haven't deleted those tags yet. I've played with subtags (for agenda lists for different people) and tags for time needed. It's easy on the desktop: select all projects in an area of focus, and hit the associated tag, either on the tag list or a shortcut key. I tag all my projects (but not next actions) with an area of focus tag just so I can sort my projects into manageable lists on the iphone. I find the big difference between the desktop and iphone versions is that the iphone version doesn't use areas of focus (yet). I drag email, urls, filenames into Things notes, also very quick. I typically drag projects and next actions into areas of focus from the inbox, and then put them where they belong. The projects list in things by itself is not very useful when you have dozens of projects, so projects always go into areas of focus. I use areas of focus (I have 10) quite a bit on the desktop in getting everything where it needs to go. There's no good manual, and many of the UI choices related to color seem poor. Really opposite of how I work: lots of projects, one to a few next actions per project. Although labeled as GTD-supporting, it seems geared for people with relatively few "projects" and long lists of actions for each project, with the top one being the next action. Using folders for projects doesn't work for me. Equating todo tags with calendars makes it hard to use the web version, because tags don't autocomplete there. It might be good for those wanting a gcal-syncing calendar, but it's no good to me for my lists. Pocket Informant has so far been a real disappointment. 
I haven't seen many reviews that favor Nozbe. RTM is most often mentioned as the best web app, with Toodledo second. Nozbe never made enough sense to me for me to get all my projects in- completely unappealing and unintuitive UI. Pocket Informant (iphone syncs to Toodledo and Gcal)
It would be good for someone who wants to do extensive tagging, though, and it's completely adequate for orthodox gtd. RTM has a very nice iphone app, but I don't care for the web UI- it's too easy for me to do the wrong thing, and it's not all that flexible. Toodledo is the most flexible of the web apps. Omnifocus has a rather slow sync, is a bit like driving a truck, but is good.
I wish the iphone app supported focus areas, but I make do. I find that I like to have actions associated with projects, but do better not planning too far ahead, as in canonical GTD.
