i use evernote. i have a notebook called "ideas" and basically i use the evernote email address plus "@-tag" to make it work. example:

Subject: Solution to perpetual motion problem = cats + bacon @Ideas

Subject: Write the classic boy-meets-fish bromance movie @Ideas

Subject: Create a social networking site dedicated to the best herpderp photos @Ideas

etc.

Yeah, a lot of people, including myself, use evernote or some sort of note taking app. But I felt that my ideas were being lost under a pile of notes.

It's nice to quickly jot down your idea but I wanted to analyze my behaviour and perhaps figure out what it is that inspiring me to come up with those ideas. Is it the coffee rush in the morning or the calmness of the night that turns that part of my brain on which enables me to start popping out ideas.

Also, funny that you mention tags. The app I am working on also revolves around the concept of tagging to categorize and organize your ideas.
