I wanted to provide a quick overview of an integral item that helps keep me organized. It's Ta-da Lists. This web app is a very basic HTML/AJAX driven site that allows you to maintain several "To-do" lists. It comes from the wonderful people over at 37signals who brought us Basecamp.

The features I enjoy most about Ta-da Lists are:

Easy Setup

Once you've created your account, you are presented with a list - of your lists.

Password Protected

Your account is password protected so you can choose to give it out to others if you wanted to set up an account for a specific project.

Accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection

This is obvious, but because this is a web app - it's accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection. In fact, one of the nicest things is you get a URL that corresponds to your user name so it's easy to remember. Ex - if my user name was Shendy, the URL would be shendy.tadalists.com - pretty nice!

Easy to use

The list of to do lists are sorted in descending order from most recently used. The bullet points also grow depending on how large the individual to do list is so you can quickly see what (potentially) requires your attention:

Once you get into your individual list there is a nice AJAX interface that makes adding items, checking items off, re-ordering items (via drag and drop) very simple.

Adding items

Reordering Items

That's pretty much the gist of it - go check it out!
