Brilliant Web 2.0 Applications As I Use Them - Remember the Milk
Today I woke up without a hangover, which is in itself a weird experience on a sunday. But since I didn’t have to muddle my way through the morning post party / red wine fog I decided i need to get organised. Needless to say i got pretty tired of writing a list ( on paper! ), trying to use my google calendar, putting them in my phone. My girlfriend even suggested at one stage i use a diary, an actual diary like they had in the olden days!
By chance i was reading ReadWriteWebs Top 10 International Products of 2008 and the number one is an application that lets you write task list, just task lists. brilliant. Actually, it does lots more on top but the list is the core. http://www.rememberthemilk.com
Having signed up it is just a pleasure to use, the design and UI is simple and intuitive, the tasks i need to achieve are usually one click away and its already helped me remember to do something and i only started an hour ago.
It has the Web 2.0 model by relying entirely on user input, allows sharing and collaboration, has a Freemium pricing / business model and uses AJAX appropriately to keep the user experience fluid.The app will text you to tell you to do shit, IM you reminders, add tasks you your google calendar and allow you to add task from iGoogle.
The premium service include iPhone intergration and as soon as i get that damn phone, i’ll be upgrading.
I am pretty sure that i am never going to forget to do something again, and in a couple of weeks I’ll give an update on how its helping out, in fact i’ll add that as a task now…
