Which would probably be a good idea. Heads up that Google is working on a task list/productivity manager for calendar. One link here: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/05/10/task-list-coming-in-...

And there was another I can't seem to find now where a Google employee explicitly stated in response to people petitioning for one that a task manager was in the works .

Thanks for the link :-)

Google does some nice stuff, and they have huge brand recognition, so I definitely worry about them. That said, I think that the whole productivity app business needs to be thought about in a different way, the way it works now you're always trying to shoehorn your project into something that almost but not quite fits. I hope to have an advantage in that department.

I'd say don't even worry about Google, because, frankly, Google could build a spaceship if it wanted to...who could stop it? Any company that can tell the U.S. government "no" has some power...so focus on what you can effect...your cutting-edge product

Hopefully cutting edge :-)

That was posted almost 2 years ago...

I couldn't find the proper link, but it was only 2 months old.
