HiTask To Handle Those…Tasks
March 30, 2007 |
Say you want to manage your daily routine. Your work life, your private life, whatever. And you just want an all-in-one solution that happens to be everywhere you are even if your computer isn’t always right by your side. If that profile fits you well, HiTask may end up being something you simply can’t live without. If you’re already set with your favorite utility, or want nothing to do with task management, read on anyway. You might change your mind.
There are two things about HiTask that strike me as fitting for the “wonderful” tag. One is the clean and casual layout of the application. It’s not drab. It’s not boring. It’s got an upbeat vibe about it. I like it a lot. The other is the truly engaging drag-and-drop feature it offers the user.
Now, dragging and dropping doesn’t sound like fun. It sounds like…dragging and dropping. Those actions bespeak themselves, and they’re not often found in the same sentence as the term “exciting”. But in a task management application such as HiTask, drag and drop come together to form a team of simplistic AJAX-happy bliss. (Don’t worry. No more drag and drop talk from here on out.)
“Free and easy” is how HiTask is advertised, and the product is nothing but. Call it anything you like. Simple as pie. Effortless. Quick and painless. They all sum it up really nicely. Whether you’re dealing with HiTask in groups, dealing with team chats, setting up projects and the tasks that correspond with each, or just dealing with your day-to-day to-do list(s), you get to do it all without any headaches.
HiTask may not be the most secure web app on the planet. It’s certainly not to be trusted with sensitive internal information passed between enterprise managers and their underlings. But that’s not the type HiTask is going after. Instead, it’s here to help manage the lives of us regular folk. A mere foe of disorganization. It doesn’t take care of your work for you (We really wish it would, don’t we?), but it helps you get things done without getting overloaded. Open an account. Make some lists. Talk to some people about those lists. Schedule stuff. All of the basics are there. Give it a shot.
If you’re into easy organization with the help of a healthy supply of Web 2.0 technology, HiTask may just turn out to be your task manager of choice. And it’s free. Who doesn’t like free?
