    Don't forget http://wishli.st/ which has a unique 'collaborative micropayment' system allowing your friends and family to chip in towards the more expensive items on your list!
  • Max · 1 year ago
    Wishpot also provides a chipin capability to be able to collect funds from friends and family.

    More info here: http://www.wishpot.com/help/how-to-contribution...

    also...we recently added Price Alerts... you can watch prices on over 500 top retailers.

    TabUp.com have enough flexibility that you can add widget after widget of to-do lists, post-it note reminders, etc. You can fill a whole tab or many tabs full of these lists. If you share a Tab with other people you can assign items on the list to them and than track if they did the work.

    You guys just wrote about another list manager - Wipee List. I think you guys should include it too! :p

    I've been using ToodleDo - www.toodledo.com - for a few months now. It has the right balance of simple entry/editing and depth of methods for retrieval and categorization. Highly recommended.

    don't forget pen and paper. they work great too!
  • connectionfailure · 1 year ago
    pen and paper? you gotta be kidding. I still have notes and lists written on scraps of paper floating around the bottom of my bag. Have to find the paper, then retype a URL? Forget it.
    Reorder a list with a pencil, erasing each one or writing an index number next to it, then re-writing the whole list in the correct order, only to decide it needs another revision so draw some arrows? Yeah that was not fun at all.
    I like electronics. kthxbai!

    I keep hunting, but none of these will do what I want. I want to track what I read, with title, start date/time, end date/time, and a brief note field. I want this to be editable from my BlackBerry and preferably to export RSS. 22Books comes close, but is broken on mobile phones. Evernote seems to be the best bet so far, but still not quite it. Other suggestions?

    I found the most useful list creator is www.jott.com. The differentiator for Jott is you can call in additions to the list. You can also have Jott send an email for you or create a reminder for you. The voice recognition is not too bad and I do a lot of my idea thinking while driving in the car.

    For me I find that I stop using these list management tools because it's not worth the effort for me to have to open my computer or open a separate window or tab. With Jott, I can input not only by Web but also by phone.
  • Olga (Task2Gather) · 1 year ago
    I use Task2Gather (http://task2gather.com) for creating all kinds of lists. The hierarchy structure of the tasks togather with the list mode makes it irreplaceable. Moreover, you can share each list with different people, e.g. share your wish list with your friends and shopping list ONLY with your family. Besides, it is reasonably priced and can be accessed via browsers either form Mac or Windows, or via standalone apps from iPhone and Windows Mobile.

    I'd add gubb.net to the list. It's insanely simple for making multiple lists and you can have the site email the lists to your mobile account when you're on the go.

    This page has some reviews of online outliners, which can go into the List category

  • Anthony Stevens · 1 year ago
    How could you not include:

    1) blist (http://blist.com)? It's chock full of heady goodness (as Apu Nehasapeemapetilan might say), and is the ultimate online list manager. Venture-backed and based in Seattle, they have been making huge strides in 2008.

    2) Microsoft OneNote? This may be THE desktop app to own if you're a Windows user. This is a multifunctional tool that runs circles around most other information-organization applications.

    If any of your readers are interested in seeing Nozbe in action, I've written a pictorial tour of Nozbe with real work on my blog at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/pi... John

    Check out backpackit.com. Let's you keep everything in one spot for $7/mo. Don't have to carry my laptop or jumpdrive home at night to work on projects, just upload the files to my backpackit site. I've gotten completely away from relying on my daytimer within 10 days. (I don't trust keeping everything in my blackjack and I'm at my computer most of the day.)

    HTH,
    Donna

    Don't forget http://todolistblog.blogspot.com, where you can spy on other people's lists! It's sort of like Post Secret meetings Getting Things Done. And pretty fascinating.
  • Martin Epsilon · 1 year ago
    I have tried a couple of these. I really like Wisheo for wishlists. They make it esay to collect money from your friends
  • Max · 1 year ago
    Wishpot provides the same functionality. No fees. It also tracks progress toward the goal.
  • Frank · 1 year ago
    I use, already for more than a year, flexlists.com for my projects and my personal stuff. The support is great (it is free without ads and they act like they get paid...), the service is fast and they are adding features all the time.
    The other list makers are far too limited to do everything, while this is good enough to do most things and the other things were maybe to complicated to begin with?!
  • Tabiji · 1 year ago
    What about itotallyloveit.com, Kaboodle, ThisNext, and Stylefeeder for wishlists?
  • shello · 1 year ago
    I use delicious as my wishlist, tagging bookmarks (maybe private items, in some cases) with "wishlist". If you're used to save links to your delicious account, it's worth trying it out.
  • Listacular · 1 year ago
    Shockingly when it comes to "mobile" we go:

    1. iPhone
    2. Everything Else
    3. Windows Mobile? Never heard of it.

    For Windows Mobile check out HandyShopper for shopping lists, Check List Pro Lite for basic checklists, and SpoonDo for task lists.

    One more thing, the premier issue of Productive! magazine has just been released, and has 17 great articles on productivity, along with an exclusive interview with productivity guru, David Allen. I've posted a link to the free premier November issue at

    This is a great collection of links!
    And the additional ideas provided in some of the comments are great, too.

    Here's my contribution: http://www.listal.com/
  • Gary Kim · 1 year ago
    bestcovery.com is another good site that has a bunch of lists for a variety of products and services. It's a new site so they don't have that much content but its continuously growing each time I visit it for ideas for gifts and such.
  • Samuel · 1 year ago
    +1 for http://www.bestcovery.com

    New, but already very good.

  • MonkeyFace · 1 year ago
    Here's another one. Checkout http://www.funkylist.com
  • Glenn · 1 year ago
    I invite everyone to come check out our new To-Do List web app called "Do it Do it Done!". The focus here is on doing to-do lists in style. The app emulates the whole jotting things down on paper experience as closely as possible. Looks like paper and handwriting. Scratch items out by clicking them with your mouse, etc.

    It's about having a bit of fun while doing something a bit mundane. There is NO registration. Just start using it! Give it a try and let us know what you'd like to see added!
