My favorite online todo list is Now Do This. Simple and brilliant.

I use Remember the Milk, and over the last 10 months it has become ingrained into my workflow. I actually cite RTM's $25 a year freemium model as a good example of a startup not using ads to fund themselves. I gladly pay $25 a year for it because it helps me organize so well.

Slate put it in 2nd because they didn't seem to need all the features. For me the iPhone interface is all I need to pick it as #1.

Lifetick.com has been an interesting trial too, I didn't see that one.

I have tried different approaches over the years. The best seems to be to have a todo.txt file and use my favorite text editor. It is very flexible, I indent to show subtasks, I can make notes anywhere. Use - as a bullet for uncompleted tasks and + for completed tasks.

This is more of a subjective 'this is what works for me' review than an objective analysis of the various offerings. Not that worthwhile in my opinion. Try them each and see what works best for you - this article isn't going to help you much.

It's simple yet still aesthetically pleasing.

Actually, I far prefer 'this works for me' over 'I've visited their websites and compiled these facts'.

(Remember the Milk works for me, primarily because of its Gmail gadget.)

I circumvent that $25 by using Twitter and Google Calendar on iPhone to remember RTM (95% of my interfacing with RTM is via Gmail).

UnToDos.com I get along with it better I believe because of the looser, and simpler categorization of ->Do right now, ->Sometime soon and ->Whenever. And to a lesser extent the fun!/no-fun flagging of activities.
