Looks interesting and the concept is sound, but the following items are issues for me.
The zoom control only seems to work by clicking on either side of the slider. You cannot "grab" and drag the slider. Annoying. I"m using OSX 10.6.8, if that matters.
Second limitation, and most important to me, is that the only view of the items in your collections is a space-wasting icon view. Also, in order to be able to fully read even short file names for the icons, they have to be zoomed quite large. Zooming to a large size is even more of a requirement if you expect to read secondary (subtitle) information, such as a date/time stamp. I really wish this program had a "list" view, similar to Finder.
I'm passing on this one for now, but perhaps future updates will address the issues of concern to me. I'll keep an eye on it.

The down-side for me is double-clicking an app to run it. I can understand the logic which, I assume, is so people can tag and add Spotlight comments. However, I run apps more than I tag, so it would make more sense to Cmd+click an app to add tags and comments.
Even though it's a tie between Overflow and PrimeFiles for me, Tags+Overflow gets me to where I need quicker.
