I might try Teux Deux. Wunderlist failed to survive a full day of work. I'm now back to 2Do, even though I had an unpleasant support experience with them in November-December (they seemed nice and they seemed to be trying to fix my problem, but they were unable to do so and wasted my time in the process).
Just giving Teux Deux a trial run for to-do lists. Despite the horrible name, it's simple and clean-looking. And I like that you can list tasks do be done "Someday".
magneticnorth - I loved Dave Allen's GTD system but I don't follow it rigorously at all. In particular, I find the idea of Next Actions to be not very helpful. That's one reason why I bailed out on OmniFocus after a couple of years of relying on it.
Mostly I just have a list of things to do and I try to do as many as I can.
I am glad that you are sharing these apps with us. I feel like we can always be on a look out for great apps that help to make our work better and easier. But I suppose that is what they are there for, right? They are there to help make our work easier, even though I will say that they are often more of a destraction than helpful for us. I suppose in the end, it is a nasty cycle of love and hate for apps.
I agree. I tend to buy apps only when I think they will be particularly useful. For now, I don't require any apps that will cost me a premium every month, but I can see why some folks would find them useful. I found this article to be vey interesting and helpful.
How about an APP to identify user requirements based on past requirements ? That can be something which will help the users to develop. I think you need AI for that.
@magneticnorth, I use openoffice for the cases where "sometimes, one might prefer to compose the blog post offline and for several writing sessions, so you'd need an app to save the blog post in for later uploading."
YWriter and Storybook are both free. I don't think that style of program works for me, so since I have Office Pro 2010, I have Word, and OneNote. The two programs can interact, so I can write in Word based on data I've noted in OneNote.
Also, since there are Web versions of Word and OneNote available via Skydrive, I have some additional mobility that way.
BUT, Skydrive has a major caveat. The Web editions of Word, Excel, OneNote, they are not full versions. If you're not careful, you can wind up with confusing formatting as the Web versions can't reproduce what they don't support.
For blogging: I just do it on site, who needs an app for that?
@chuckgregory: Some CMSs might have less usable mobile admins, so it would be better to compose and save in one app and then copy all the blog post's code to the CMS. I usually prefer to use an app for Blogger posts because the admin doesn't work as well on my mobile devices. And sometimes, one might prefer to compose the blog post offline and for several writing sessions, so you'd need an app to save the blog post in for later uploading.

Recently, the Obama administration has been of two minds where privacy rights are concerned. On one hand, you have an administration that vowed to veto CISPA and mandated open data for government websites. On the other hand, you have an increasingly out-of-control Department of Justice on a fishing expedition at AP and demanding legislation to let the FBI wiretap private, encrypted communications and levy fines if a company fails to comply.
The apartment and house sharing service, Airbnb, now requires members to verify their identities by demonstrating a presence on the web, and by either scanning a government ID or entering detailed personal details. Other enterprises should take a close look at Airbnb's verification policies.
Facebook advertising is a lightning rod. It seems neither brands nor consumers are 100 percent happy about the social media site's policies, placement, or procedures. But the real controversy about Facebook ads and promotions is over whether they work.
By now, you've most likely heard about the 3D-printed gun that Texas-based Defense Distributed demonstrated last week. But we haven't heard the last about the censorship war that began soon afterward.
New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority is conducting a pilot test of digital kiosks to guide subway users to where they want to go more efficiently and at lower cost.
The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
While NFC's original goal was to enhance mobile commerce applications, it is finding its way into a number of other uses, which is creating both opportunity as well as challenges for IT departments.
Enterprises would like to move to cloud computing but are hesitant because they are concerned about providers’ ability to secure company data. Here are some tips that help to ensure that if breaches occur, the business is not left holding the bag.
Edmunds separates customers into segments based on the info it collects on its site and from partners, and uses that to push out custom content, said Brian Baron, director of business analytics for Edmunds.com, at Predictive Analytics Innovation Summit.
The automotive website uses propensity modeling to target ads and customer registration forms, said Brian Baron, director of business analytics for Edmunds.com, at Predictive Analytics Innovation Summit.
Subsidized handsets, rather than locked handsets, should be the focus of regulators. We're not getting good deals, not fostering innovation, and weakening our power as buyers.
