    HyperOffice Collaboration Suite includes to-dos, calendaring, document sharing, online collaboration, web meetings, mobile collaboration in a single solution. How about that?
  • Anelly
    I think the list could be updated with new applications. For example these days many managers implement monitoring software within their company to increase productivity.
  • TimeTracking
    Nice List! Our Time Tracking process was a good one, but with www.hourdoc.com we suddenly found how much time and energy we had been wasting on things that could be done automatically and with much better accuracy than through manual data entry. They offer free application to companies less than 50 employees.

    ... and awesome online colab tool www.netviewer.com (free for personal use)...

    Hi Glen,
    What a useful page!
    You should add a section for online lists of online productivity tools, and add yourself on it ;)
    Check out this WebOS - I find it useful and exciting: http://g.ho.st
  • gilbert
    also checkout www.mindjet.com for mind maps...
  • You might want to consider adding online collaboration software company HyperOffice to your list. It is one of the best known office suites in the market and the oldest (they've been around since 1998).

    Hi Glen,
    How about time efficiency tools? People watch informational videos all the time (oprah and ted.com comes to mind) and you can improve your mind in less time using MySpeed.

    And will love to read about any time efficiency tools you or your readers can come up with. I need them!

    Celina
  • I believe http://www.littlehacks.com should also be on the list. We just launched it couple of days ago.
  • Though I know most of these tools, other were simply an eye opener for me. Thanks a lot!
  • max
    I would suggest two other freewares

    free to do list software: http://www.fruitfultime.com/products/free/softw...

    free note taking software: http://www.fruitfultime.com/products/free/softw...
  • Korben
    Recommend to add a good service - http://www.5pmweb.com
  • sasha
    I would like to suggest http://checkvist.com, online outliner and task list for groups. Great tool for brainstorming - very fast data input due to typical "natural" keyboard shortcuts for working with hierarchical lists.
  • Jenny
    http://wipeelist.com/ should def be on there! IT ROCKS! :D
  • Helpful...
    Surprised to see OS online
  • You can even checkout DeskAway - it was mentioned in the latest Mashable 270+ tools for business list.
  • Anyone looking for a very simple CRM solution should check out PipelineDeals.com

    Its the perfect sales collaboration tool.

    They also have a very slick iPhone application.

  • GTD *focused* online tool :

    http://www.taskwriter.com
  • Here is an all the all in one you are looking for...

    http://positiveware.com

    Time, Budget, Project and Billing all in one!
  • Jane
    Hi Glen,

    Another tool for time tracking is Fanurio http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com It’s a useful application, with a user-friendly interface.
  • Dan
    As with the last update, now Gtdagenda has due date for tasks (you'll see in the calendar on the right if you have tasks due today), task notes, and Email & Print support.
  • Hello,

    For implementing GTD you might try out this new application for time management and productivity,

    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.

    Hope you like it.
  • We developed workloops.com to help keep our office organized, it's a great reminder service, just assign a task to someone and it reminds them until they report on status or complete it.
  • I'm sorry, I've made mistake too. Correct link to GoPlan is http://goplan.info/
  • Hi,
    awesome list, more of those.

    Unfortunately, I've found one mistake. You have wrong address to the GoPlan. It's Goplan.org, you have it as Goplan.com which is not working.
  • Anne
    This is a very nice list of online tools. Also, I thought http://www.imaginationcubed.com would be a good site for drawing collaboration.
  • Michelle
    I am a dedicated user of Ghost Action, which is a wonderfully elegant Mac to-do list application. It's GTD all the way, very clean- does everything I need it to do and no fancy frills to get distracted with.
  • Klas Henrik Adergaard
    You may want to check out http://www.purposegames.com

    It's not a game site per se, but rather a marketing tool. At least that's how we use it for our winery, as we created a game for our customers and put it on our site and they get to spend time with our brand while learning about the wine districts we import from.
  • This is an interesting list... you might also want to check out http://www.taskbin.com and add it to your To-do Lists... TaskBin is basically a group tasks management tool for managing all your task in a Group and a team environment...
  • Hello, I would like to suggest that you add http://www.myticklerfile.com (MyTicklerFile) to your list as it allows you to monitor/manage your productivity via reminders, tasks and projects.
  • Hello, I would like to propose http://www.bloove.com, here you can manage contacts in your mobile (Nokia or Sony Ericsson) via web.
  • Robert Markowitz
    In response to numbers 20 and 25 it should be noted that Toodledo also does repeating tasks very well, but it is not limited to only simple repeating tasks. It's much more comprehensive.
  • I agree with #20. The to do list will compliment this list very well.
  • Bobmark
    Don't know where you'd categorize it, but I swear by Jott. For a To Do List my fav is Toodledo. It can handle recurring events, email input, priorities, grouping, etc. It's about the most complete I've seen.
  • L8R lets you send email later. Works with your own email account.
  • Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! bskdbjcnycu
  • Ralf
    Great List! As MindMapping Tool i would recommend http://www.mindmeister.com
  • You should consider adding http://www.dailytodo.net to your To-do section. It offers something a little different - tasks that need to be completed on a regular basis, i.e. daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.
  • jason
    I noticed on a previous post that someone was looking for off-line productivity tools. I found a great tool from portableapps.com. has open source software that will fit on a thumbdrive, ipod, etc. Has the full Open office suite, anything you need. great interface and it all runs on whatever you put it on. there is a basic package, then you can add what you want. I know you wanted on line stuff. but sometimes you cannot be on line.
  • glen
    That's an idea, except I don't really have much expertise with them. :)
  • Toufiq
    How about reviewing some standalone online presentation tools that can export
    powerpoint files.
  • glen
    nina,

    Actually, I didn't have any of those on there. Great suggestions!
  • nina
    to-do lists: toodledo, zirr.us, and for GTD tools - simple gtd. sorry if these are repeats.
  • Great list! Do to my travels, I'm often in places without on-line access. Has anyone seen a list of off-line productivity tools that I could check out? Thanks!
  • glen
    Thanks John. I added it :)
  • Sorry. The address should be www.hiveminder.com, that gives nice to do list and Google calendar integration.
  • www.hivesminder.com gives nice to do list and Google calendar integration
  • Thanks Glen. For what it's worth I did a quick and dirty screencast of the timesheet redesign. Worth a look for anyone interested:

    http://freshbooks.com/newTimesheet/
  • glen
    Good to know Mike. Thanks for the update.
  • Just for the sake of accuracy, FreshBooks has completely redesigned it's time tracking service...it's now pretty sweet for invoicing AND time-tracking.
  • esimo
    What ever happened to scrybe?
  • glen
    Hi Leo.

    Well, that is a thought. I think I'll save that for another time tho... I kind of want to keep this one strictly for productivity.

    It's a great idea though :)
  • Good list! How about a section for maintaining a blog, or services for bloggers? Things like adsense, sitemeter, MyBlogLog, Blogger, Wordpress, google analytics, etc.
  • glen
    Ok, added RSS readers AND personalized start pages.
  • glen
    Hey Doug. I initially left them out on purpose, but I can add them. It's not a bad idea, the more that I think about it.
  • How about a section for RSS readers?

    Under to do lists, Remember the Milk is missing.
