I also use it to jot down new ideas…at the back of the pad.

But managing your own personal tasks is one thing, while managing your tasks in a group environment is something else altogether. When sharing tasks with a group there are lots of issues to work through. For example: viewing other group members task lists and letting them view yours, assigning tasks to someone else in your group, checking progress of a task, adding notes, allow others to add tasks and notes to your list, sending reminders…etc. In addition, we are increasingly living in a world where groups are distributed across cities and continents and we need to work together.

We were struggling with this issue of managing day to day tasks between various team members in different locations at our company, MangoSpring (www.MangoSpring.com). We decided to build a tool (called TaskBin) that allowed us to share our task lists with others in the company in a very simple and transparent way. As we started using it internally, we thought others may benefit from it as well, so we decided to launch TaskBin as an hosted version ( http://www.TaskBin.com).

Registration is super easy. However, if you do not want to register at this time and just want to play with it to see how it works, you can you can use the demo login at http://www.taskbin.com/user/demo_login
