    I’ve recently finished the project that will replace Wallnote (also mine) in a couple of months’ time. Perhaps you could check it out and add it to this comprehensive list?

    http://www.dailytodo.net offers a unique feature not offered by the others. It lets you manage daily, weekly and monthly tasks. That is, tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis.

    Wondering if you could maybe add ZoToDo to your list… it still provides on pretty basic functionality but it’s good for Daily To Do lists… here’s a link: Daily To Do Lists

    What about offline ones? I’ve recently released one that should cope with the task. Please check sites.google.com/site/rocketdm, you might wish to add it to your list.

    Best wishes,

    As a project manager where most of my day is spent managing lots of ‘to do lists’ I use a new site called ‘orgu’ which is really simple to use, very quick and looks kind of funky…

    orgu.co.uk

    Much prefer it to RememberTheMilk which is overly engineered for most people’s use, and far too common now.
