Struggling to Find Right Web Apps

I apologize in advance if this question has already been posed a million times - I’m a newbie to online productivity suites.

I’ve recently migrated to Google for nearly everything, including email, scheduling and task management, and RSS reading. However, I’m still struggling to find a way to meet all of my productivity needs online.

Does Google offer anything similar to a personal wiki that I can use to capture thoughts, links, etc? Is this what Notebook is for? If so, it seems clunky as best.  read more »

Is there a mobile only based GTD app without internet access?

Is there a mobile only based GTD application. I am on the road most of my time and have no internet access for better part of my day. So any web app will not work for me. I would like to use a GTD app which is purely Mobile phone/PDA based and does not require an internet connection.

Good Cell Phone for GTD?

So I recently realized my LG Verizon phone cannot use iSync and chooses not to acknowledge the Mac OS at all. Crap.

For the time being I have to stick with Verizon (for my job), so I can’t get on the iPhone train just yet. Anybody have any good luck with a Verizon phone? Preferrably not a Blackberry (yuck).

43 Actions for iPhone

Has anyone taken a look at the iPhone specific 43 Actions tool? (http://43actions.com/)

I just found it and am doing some digging. Just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on the tool.

Add tags to gmail using del.icio.us e.g.

Using gmail I always missed a decent tagging feature. The labels provided are fine to mark general categories, e.g. @home, @work or @@waiting_for

If you are not working on more then a dozen projects you might use labels as well to sort your mails into projects. But when it comes to more granular tagging, labels definitely are no longer a solution.  read more »

eeePC - Better than a PDA?

Superlative philosopher-blogger Gus Van Horn contemplates throwing away his PDA in favor of a “microlaptop”.

Somebody should tell him about the Hipster.

Does anyone have any observations and (or comparisons) of these applications (both on the web and mobile)?
