I used to think that Google was beyond awesome and have enjoyed all the innovations in Gmail. But, I have been very frustrated in Google’s lack of attention to GrandCentral; once they acquired it, they abandoned it. It makes Google Contacts look like Windows 3.1. Remember the Milk is awesome, I just wish you did not have to pay to have it sync with anything.

RTM does not rock. It is yet another web app that doesn’t sync with anything*.

Gmail syncs everywhere via IMAP. Google calendar has addons to sync to devices, and googles own outlook sync.

I would love to hook web based tasks onto my toolchain, but I don’t want to break my existing setup.

(*) Oh, forgot about burberry and windows snowpile. Sorry. So, I add a task in my desktop app and then get out my mobile to sync from my desktop app and then sync to RTM? And vice versa, of course. Very smooth. Applause to RTM. Great user experience.

I am a total convert. I can’t wait to junk Outlook and move to a complete Google suite of Time Managment Products. Outlook becomes unstable and crashes if more than 1.4 GB of information is being activiely used. This is just one issue in a sea of other issues. Get your act together Google and release these products!!!

WHAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE IS IF GOOGLE ACQUIRED onemorelevel.com or any other GAMING SITE! I could only imagine how INCREDIBLE that would be….

“RTM ROCKS!”
A Google acquisition or rememberthemilk seems like an INCREDIBLY good thing at first glance. However, .. … … … .. why?

Everybody in concert singing “RTM ROCKS!” and integrating it into their Google portfolio already shows that Google doesn’t really need to acquire the service… it’s already been integrated into their offering, by the brilliant team already there at RTM.

Right?

Not necessarily a false alarm, despite the office denial from Google. This post from the Techcrunch article pastes an earlier announcement from Google to the Google Calendar Group. A task manager is too basic a feature for Google not to integrate with Gmail and GCal indefinitely.
