1. A computer-implemented method for providing workspace navigation with a tag cloud, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing system comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:

  • receiving a request to associate a tag with a first launch item, the first launch item comprising a first executable program;

    in response to the request to associate the tag with the first launch item, associating the tag with the first launch item;

    receiving a request to associate the tag with a second launch item, the second launch item comprising a second executable program;

    in response to receiving the request to associate the tag with the second launch item, associating the tag with the second launch item, the first and second launch items comprising a subset of launch items;

    identifying a set of launch items within a workspace;

    displaying the tag cloud in a graphical user interface, each individual tag in the tag cloud being associated with one or more launch items from the set of launch items;

    receiving, from the graphical user interface, a selection of the tag from the tag cloud;

    using the selected tag to identify the subset of launch items within the set of launch items;

    identifying a request to launch all items in the subset of launch items; and

    in response to receiving the request to launch all items, launching all the items in the subset of launch items, wherein the launching all the items comprises running the first and second executable programs.
