Now Gmail does Tasks too

As if keeping tabs on my tasks wasn’t hard enough, Google just added a Task list to it’s Mail application. It seems to me that Google is using its popular mail client to start off quite some tools lately. First we get the contacts manager, then the iGoogle Gadgets get added to Gmail and now the Task List.

Not everybody is happy about it though. As Marshall Kirkpatrick points out:

Gmail has been limping along for days, with scores of people reporting down time, super slow responsiveness and other troubles. With no communication from Google about the problem – what are users to think? Perhaps that we should put more of our lives in the hands of the Gmail team!
I too hope that the speed and reliability issues get fixed soon, instead of new features getting thrown at us. But I’m excited to see a major player in the Task Tracking business, and maybe it’ll give the much needed push towards a standard way to exchange tasks.
