Gmail Tasks: Never too late to be great.

December 9th, 2008

Google just proved that it’s never too late to introduce great features.

I have been using Gmail to send myself notes and to do’s forever. I just write myself an email and save it as a draft. MailCloak even lets me keep my drafts encrypted… but now Google has finally added tasks to Gmail, so I’ll be upgrading my habits accordingly.

The good news:

Google tasks is fast, easy, and powerful.

Features include multiple lists, pop-out windows, useful tool-tips, integration with calendar, keyboard navigation, and probably a lot more I have’nt even found yet!

The bad news:

It takes a lot of screen real estate. And it’s not always easy to find.

Also, surprisingly, there’s no integration with email or google apps other then calendar, but maybe that’s a good thing.  A to do list is a to do list (K.I.S.S.).

That’s it. This is a small feature, so I’m gonna keep this review short.
