After reading this blog I decided to take a look at the task tools you mentioned. I’m looking a Nozbe now, but TaskToy — what is it? The Tasktoy website is just a signup page, with no information as to what in the heck Tasktoy is, or even what it looks like. No FAQ, no screenshots, and a Google Group that has absolutely no real posts — all spam posts. Apparently no one is managing the group at all.Anytime I see a service-oriented web site that wants me to sign up completely sight unseen, I usually steer clear of it!
Good instincts–but in this case, misleading. For reviews and screenshots take a look at the google searches I did.
I’ve been using Tasktoy as my start page for a couple of years now. It provides a window on the left side of the screen for tasks, todos, or “next actions” in GTD nomenclature. On the right it has two windows, one of projects and the other of whatever links you think are handy.
It is ideal for those with different work and home environments since different computers can save different settings and see different groups of projects according to context (i.e. home, or office). It will email reminders if you want them and also repeat tasks. It allows for extensive notes.
It is free with some relatively muted advertising (unlike, say, this blog).
