Spot on. I can’t gel with Live Writer too.

I find I rely on it more and more each day I use it.

@Brian – I have yet to find another to-do manager that is as flexible as Toodledo. It really works just like I need it to.

@Steve – I’ve heard good things about Things but haven’t had the opportunity to test for myself. There are trade-offs indeed for choosing one platform over the other. I know there are similar blogging apps for Mac – sounds like it might be useful to do a round up.

I think BatchBook has its charms – I really appreciate that it doesn’t look like every other app out there. I believe there are some greater personalization options coming soon.

@AB Absolutely – I tend to just jumble all that in as Gmail but the domain tools are a great productivity tool.

Basically, it is gmail hosting (free!) but it uses your domain name instead of at gmail.com. More professional, and Google doesn’t brand your outgoing emails like Hotmail and Yahoo and all the other Web 1.0 companies.

BlogDesk is awesome. I maintain dozens of blogs, and without it I’d be lost.

I’ve been spoiled by beautiful web apps and the bar is high!

I discovered Things this year for my to dos and it’s a cracker application. However, I was disappointed to see that BlogDesk isn’t available for Mac, so perhaps it’s swings and roundabouts…

It is rock solid, easy to use, and gives me one consistent interface that I can use for all of my blogging work, despite them running on different platforms.

@thisismyurl – I agree. I figured that most readers would be familiar with it but there is no denying just how useful it is.

@feedback secrets – Good point, I didn’t mention costs in this overview but all of the above are either free or have a free account level available so you can try with no cost / risk.

Thanks for comments everyone,
SB

Until I read this post I did not know about Toodledo, BlogDesk, or BatchBook.

Thanks for the share.

I’m thankful for Evernote. It helps me collect and sort everything.

Happy Thanksgiving. I have not heard of Blogdesk, and after your mention I checked it out. What a great program. Thank you!
