That is nice when using Firefox, Chrome, Safari, but Nozbe does not work great in IE8. All the contexts and lists are drag and drop and can be sorted to your heart’s content. All the lists/projects are nicely laid out on the left hand side. The contexts on the right have a selection of cute little pictures to visually associate them. My initial reaction to their colour choices is ‘yuch’. Nozbe has a very, um, green almost cartoonish web interface. But, it would be nice if the calendar came standard… Overall impression: Screaming fast task entry, compatible with all browsers, not very appealing to look at. The powerful search filters allows you to sort tasks with due dates, so I made one with uncompleted tasks due today or later.
Though I will get to how the reminders and Google Calendar integration work later on, it is something you need to manually create yourself. One thing that is missing from the UI is a calendar. I have yet to use a to-do list manager that offers such slick shortcuts to enter tasks in.Overall, the web interface could use some updating, but hopefully never at the expense of the imputing of data! The same goes for things like tags(#), priority(!). For instance, if you use ^, it knows you are creating a due date and will offer up today, tomorrow, or any date you select. It is like Twitter tags on steroids! Using shortcuts when entering in your data, you get drop down options.

On the plus side entering in tasks is fast! RTM has a new feature called Smart Add. Part of the reason is that there is no drag and drop. Overall, RTM works quickly in all the browsers I use at home and work. etc…Clicking on them will bring up all the tasks with those tags. You can see the various contexts/tags on the right. Use the google to tailer it to your needs. There are quite a few articles out there about RTM. All my projects are tagged with a P- or W- to distinguish a personal or work project. The power of RTM is the smart lists and search function. This is great for us Firefox users not yet using 4.0beta, or Google Chrome, but at work I use IE8, and occasionally Safari, and am forced back into the standard Tab based format. The developers have left streamlining the interface to the very popular, A Bit Better RTM Firefox Extension. Remember the Milk‘s standard interface is the least appealing of the bunch. OK, not a small lists of demands, so let’s see how they faired. Is the User Interface cluttered or easy to understand and use?.Does it work(whether designed that way or hacked) as a true GTD solution?.It has to be able to remind me of the shit I need to remember without me thinking about it.It has got to have a functional iPhone interface!.It has got to work in the most common web browsers.Here is a small list of the criteria I am looking for in a good, always accessible To-Do List Manager. The 3 main contenders are: Remember the Milk, Nozbe, & Nirvana. Check them out when you have some time…I have been using three on a consistent basis the last couple of months, and wanted to share with you my thoughts on the experience. I have written a few articles on the site about my initial impressions on these. I started by using Nozbe, then for a few reasons(not just that I am the curious type), I started trying out Remember the Milk(RTM), Nirvana, using Gmail as a GTD solution, and finally I have experimented with Evernote. I have been using a few Getting Things Done(GTD) apps this year to see what works best for me. I blame the iPhone for this trend! It is a good trend in my opinion. There has been quite a lot of Web-based To-Do lists managers launched in the last couple of years. My 1 year Anniversary with RTM! My thoughts on our relationship… Check out my latest post about what I’ve liked about using RTM this last year, and what I’d like to see get changed.

UPDATE – I’ve been using Remember the Milk for a year now.
