Remember The Milk is a web-based task entry and organizer. It leverages superb input techniques as well as general user-friendliness that make task-remembering very easy.
To use RTM, one needs an account. The standard version is free. Once signed up, you are able to type in, organize, and share your tasks with others. Each task has a number of attributes that can be edited, such as date due, duration, meta tags, URL, and notes.
One of the most useful aspects of Remember the Milk is the ability to use keyboard shortcuts to quickly enter and edit your tasks. For example, selecting a task and pressing "C" will complete the task and it will disappear from your list. Pressing "D" will allow you to change the due date, and RTM is intelligent enough to recognize date formats such as "2/25" or "Feb 25" or simply "Thur".
One of RTM's shortcomings is the $25 it charges for upgrading to a "Pro" account, which among other things lets you access RTM from a mobile device such as an iPod or Blackberry. For Remember the Milk to be a truly user-friendly web service, I feel it should allow its users free access on mobile platforms so users can create and edit tasks on the run.
