Claims

1. A method, comprising:

associating a stored item with a property comprising at least one of a familiarity, affection, respect, esteem, status, and acting role.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising sorting the stored item with other stored items in response to criteria including the property.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising searching for the stored item among other stored items in response to criteria including the property.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein searching comprises searching content of the stored item.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the stored item comprises a message, and wherein searching content comprises searching message content.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the property is associated with a personal contact that sent the message.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the property indicates a relationship ring membership of the personal contact.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the stored item comprises a message, and wherein the property is included in a header associated with the message.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the stored item comprises a message, wherein the message conveys an identity of a personal contact, and wherein the identity of the personal contact comprises an anonymous identity, or the property.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the stored item along with only other stored items associated with the property.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein displaying the stored item along with only other stored items comprises displaying an indicator associated with the stored item along with indicators associated with the other stored items.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein associating a stored item with a property comprises at least one of indexing content, indexing metadata, indexing a keyword and indexing a tag.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the property comprises an emotient attribute.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

altering the property associated with the stored item.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein associating a stored item with a property comprises generating an index referencing a database.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the database is contained in one of a computer, a telephone, and a personal digital assistant.

18. An article comprising:

a storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, result in;

associating a stored item with a property comprising at least one of a familiarity, affection, respect, esteem, status, and acting role.

19. The article of claim 18, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

sorting the stored item with other stored items in response to criteria including the property.

20. The article of claim 18, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

archiving the stored item along with other stored items associated with the property.

21. The article of claim 18, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

searching for the stored item among other stored items in response to criteria including the property.

22. The article of claim 21, wherein the stored item includes content, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

searching content of the stored item.

23. The article of claim 21, wherein the stored item comprises a message, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

searching message content.

24. The article of claim 23, wherein the property is associated with a personal contact that sent the message.

25. The article of claim 23, wherein the property indicates a relationship ring membership of the personal contact.

26. The article of claim 18, wherein the stored item comprises a message, and wherein the property is included in a header associated with the message.

27. The article of claim 18, wherein the stored item comprises a message, wherein the message conveys an identity of a personal contact, and wherein the identity of the personal contact comprises an anonymous identity, or the property.

28. The article of claim 18, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

displaying the stored item along with only other stored items associated with the property.

29. The article of claim 28, wherein the instructions to display the stored item along with only other stored items associated with the property, if executed, result in:

displaying an indicator associated with the stored item along with indicators associated with the other stored items.

30. The article of claim 18, wherein the instructions to associate a stored item with a property, if executed, result in:

at least one of indexing content, indexing metadata, indexing a keyword and indexing a tag.

31. The article of claim 18, wherein the property comprises an emotient attribute.

32. The article of claim 18, the storage medium having stored therein instructions that, if executed, further result in:

altering the property associated with the stored item.

33. The article of claim 18, wherein the instructions to associate a stored item with a property, if executed, result in:

generating an index referencing a database.

34. The article of claim 33, wherein the database is contained in one of a computer, a telephone, and a personal digital assistant.

35. An apparatus, comprising:

a terminal device having logic adapted to associate an item with a property comprising at least one of a familiarity, affection, respect, esteem, status, and acting role;

the terminal device further having logic adapted to store the item; and

the terminal device further having logic adapted to sort the item against other stored items in response to criteria including the property.

36. The apparatus of claim 35, wherein the item is associated with a personal contact of a user of the terminal device.

37. The apparatus of claim 36, wherein the property indicates a relationship ring membership of the personal contact.

38. The apparatus of claim 35, wherein the item comprises a message, and wherein the property is included in a header associated with the message.

39. The apparatus of claim 35, the terminal device further having logic adapted to:

display an indicator of the stored item along with indicators of other items associated with the property.
