Slate has a new review of web-based task management (to-do list) programs. You might want to check out the details, but just so you don’t suffer from heart-palpitating suspense, the top two applications were:

• Google Mail Tasks from Gmail Labs (30/30)
• Remember the Milk (which I use) (29/30)

While I like the minimalism of Gmail Tasks (as the review notes, the decent design + a lot of capability can make RTM a time sync, particularly if—like me—you find getting ready to do things much more fun than doing them), I spend too much time in different Google mail accounts, and tasks are tied to individual accounts, resulting in two wholly separate lists. That doesn’t work for me. So, RTM for win!
