Evernote, remember everything – Online & Mobile Bookmarking Software – GTD
I created an account with Evernote a long time ago, when it was still in private invite/beta I’m sure. However, I’ve never really used it (whether at home or at work, I’d normally just use blinklist – one of the most useful sites I know, but also one of the most unreliable :@, or I’d just jot it down on some paper).
The idea behind the software is to allow people to store and retrieve all kinds of notes (web pages, photos, contact details, to-do lists, etc). Not really that ground breaking I know, but some of their technology is kickass. For example, you could write “stupid looking hat” on a post it note, take a photo on your phone and upload it, and when searching for “stupid”, “looking” or “hat” [at home, at work, or on your phone] it would be able to search and index your own handwriting!
Anyway, I genuinely feel that their service is fairly useless unless you have a mobile device that can surf and pick up the web with ease (iPhone’s, Blackberry’s, etc).. at which point it would become stupidly useful.
It’s totally FREE to use (within reason – storage limits), although they do have a premium offering- if you’ll clear up your notes and what not you’ll not need to pay :p
You can see it in action here:

For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:
http://www.Gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version and iCal are available too.

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the heads-up – I’ll check it out for sure
iCal compatibility sounds good – I remember using http://www.rememberthemilk.com and wishing it supported iCal.
Cheers,
mic
