Huddle is a social media-based project management tool, one that lines up against Basecamp and Goplan. This is an area that the Todoist folks need to focus on. I can’t assign a task to another party, so this makes it a totally solitary tool. One missing side of Todoist is the social: there is no sharing of Todoist tasks.
Todoist could be the missing task manager for Gcal, and demonstrates that email needs integrated reminders. This is an obvious candidate for Google acquisition and could be the bridge that shows the obvious points of integration between Gmail and Google Calendar. Of course, the best would be an actually integration with Gmail’s tags, and Gmail itself. And when the trip to London is over, I delete the project and the links to associated emails. In Todoist, however, the addition of notifications and the time dimension means that I clear things up as a matter of course. The tags are really only relevant for the lifetime of some project or activity - like a trip to London, for example - but in Gmail I often never get around to cleaning them up. I find that I have moved away from using the Gmail ‘labels’ (really are tags) to organized mail since adopting Todoist. Later on, when I take care of the task, I can bring the email back with just a click, and reply to it, or reread it for critical information.
Once I hit the bookmarklet, while looking at a piece of mail in Gmail, Todoist creates a task in the project of my choice, allowing me to link to the email, tag it, add more info to the title, whatever.
