I prefer VitaList, based on the GTD model. It also has a widget that can show your tasks on your Google or NetVibes homepage. For me, simple ToDo lists take too much time with too little payback.

No, it's not a real product: it's the example from my beta book Flexible Rails (http://flexiblerails.com/). However, it is probably as capable as many of the todo lists out there that are pretending to be real products.

I think I can do the bland empty comment bit pretty well, but I'm stuck on having a web 0.2 site to promote. Maybe someone could come up with a service for disposable web sites to bandy around, a bit like the disposable email address services. A white label website generator.

The stress comes from sending back and forth emails/IM between team members to keep track of tasks. for larger projects we use project management. For smaller queue of tasks in a team setting there arent many solutions. This product seems it could do that. At MangoSpring(www.mangospring.com) we needed a similar shared to do list couldnt find a free online version and decided to make one ourselves. You can access it at www.taskbin.com. And yeah I agree there are far too many to do lists :-) ours included. We don’t work alone we work in teams.

I get a sense that you use it for communication on some level, but how deeply is it integrated into your life? Do you ping and poke others? Do you leave wall posts? Do you tag photos? Do you use the music apps? And: Does Facebook replace your plethora of other activities? Do you use it a blogging software? Do you use it as an email client?
