Google Task List

It has been known that Google Apps does not have a Task Manager, be it for Project tracking, or for completing tasks on schedule. Google Calendar's daily agenda, was so-so for this work. But Google has got a completely new service called Google Task List.

Living by their nature of integrating each service into every other service of theirs (like getting Google Themes from iGoogle to Orkut, then to Gmail and it might very easily extend to Reader too! Similarly, Google SMS which is part of Google SMS channel, may become part of Gmail filters, where we can set the criteria, for an sms notification), they have integrated Google Tasks List with Gmail. Implying, integrated with Google Apps.

This is what Google Watch had to say about it:

"Click it, then click in an empty part of the list window that pops up on the right and start typing your task list in what is really the familiar Google Chat window. This means they're visible while you're scanning your inbox, reading mail, or searching. You can also pop your list out into a new window to.
The list you create saves automatically and you can hit return to begin entering a new task. There are a number of editing options, including the ability to add, delete, indent, un-indent tasks, move tasks up or down, or switch between task lists.


Here's the best part: You can also convert e-mails into tasks. To do so, select one or more messages and go to "More Actions," then "Add to Tasks." It pops up in the task list. You can read it by selecting it and clicking the related e-mail link. Awesome! More modular e-mail. It's like putting a digital sticky label on your to-do list."
