Top 4 To-do List and Task Management Services

Ace Huynh
The main function of these online services is helping users not to forget their work. However, which one is the best? In my opinion, these are the top four.

4. Ta-Da-List: if you are a person who likes to be simple, this website should be your first choice. It has no calendar, no reminder, and no set-up time, nothing except for the list of work you have to complete. Once you are done with one task, mark it off and the task will fade away. The best thing about Ta-Da-List is you can share the URL of list with your friend or your family.

3. Backpacklt: Allows user to create five different shared pages that contain task list, notes and text. Backpackit sent up to ten reminders through email and SMS. You can also upload photo, attach files, add stuff to your pages, crate shortcut to your homepage and create your page as a professional reminding website. However, the con of this website is you cannot set up the exact time, just the date only.

2. HiveMinder: the appearance of HiveMinder is very catchy. The website allows users to manage their tasks as tags. Users can also use RSS, synchronize the entire task or export schedule. The special function of this is you are able to create groups and share tasks with others. HiveMinder also sends an email to remind the work.

1. RemembertheMilk: this is my number one choice. RemembertheMilk has an attractive appearance that allows users to create "reminding" calendar easily. Depending on your set-up, your everyday tasks like "finish the homework to turn it in next Thursday", "the book's due day is tomorrow" or "pay the bill for this month" will be reminded. The to-do-list is synchronizing with iCalendar type. Users also possess an inbox of RemembertheMilk to note any task. RemembertheMilk can notice you instant messenger like AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Skype and Yahoo!messenger. Besides, it can also communicate through email and SMS. The only con of RemembertheMilk is it is difficult to put in the deadline and note. However, you will get used to it.

The best thing about those four services is you can create a free account. All it takes is two easy steps to register and you can use the service right away. Right now, I am using RemembertheMilk. Simply put in all of your tasks and the website will remind you to accomplish them.
