Comment on Wunderlist Review by MB

NirvanaHQ looks pretty good, thanks for the recommendation.

To be clear, I don’t tout Wunderlist’s simplicity, Wunderlist does. I think Wunderlist needs categories or tags to be useful. As it is it’s mostly just pretty and underpowered.

I still think Wunderlist is mostly just an advertisement for 6WunderKinder and not much else.

I think you should mention NirvanaHQ because it’s closer in kin to Wunderlist than Things. And it does have Tags – an important feature despite your touting simpicity. Using tags is the most simplistic way to manage context for GTD’ers. Wunderlist is sexy with it’s syncing and all, but I’m sticking with Nirvana.

Of course. Why wouldn’t you want to be reminded of such an important obligation. Fun, fun, fun.

[...] Michael Barrett : Vanity Fair for iPad: Review Description : The main selling point is that this application now uses Apple’s subscription API with reasonable pricing and provides access for existing print subscribers, at least it’s supposed to. The application has been given a design and UI …. The demo is formatted to fill the screen on an iPad, so it looks very much like one of the pages from the app ? except it’s HTML text that could scale if needed, be indexed and searched, and even printed out for a cave man to read. … http://abouthalf.com/2011/05/2 ..

You’ve really have a thing for cooking meat patties on a bed of salt.

There was actually a scene in an episode of CSI: NY where one of the intrepid investigators actually used the phrase “I’ll create a GUI using Visual Basic…see if I can track an IP address”
