Posted Apr 14, 08 12:50 PM CDT in Technology

  1. Remember the Milk is one intense task manager: It even lets others—say, your boss—add items to your "honey-do" list.
  2. Never forget another brilliant idea; text it to Backpack.

  1. You don't need to be an exec to have a personal assistant thanks to Sandy, which sends text and email appointment reminders.
  2. Wesabe features "human-friendly" banking tools that help explain where your dollars disappear to.
  3. Amazon's Gift Organizer sends targeted recommendations along with its birthday reminders. One click and a thoughtful gift is on its way.
