Google just updated Gmail with a rejiggered labeling system. You've been able to apply labels to e-mails to sort them for a long time, but now you can do so by dragging e-mails to the labels and dropping them there as if Gmail were a desktop e-mail client. There are more change notes  at the official Gmail blog.
