34. A method of tracking tasks comprising:
-
sending a communication;
attaching a task tag to the communication;
recording, by an automatic database agent, at least a portion of data in the task tag into a database; and
automatically sending a communication by the automatic database agent based, at least partially, on the data in the task tag.

35. A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodied in a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for tracking tasks, the method comprising steps of:
-
searching a first communication to determine if the first communication has a task tag, the task tag comprising a task topic and a task progress; and
automatically sending a second communication by an automated database agent based upon data in the task tag.
