How-to: Track your tasks in Firefox

POSTED AT 16:47 on 12th May 2007

You can track your tasks in Firefox using live bookmarks. This allows you to always have your task list at the tip of your fingers and complete any tasks with a click of the mouse. To create the live bookmark you need to do the following:

1) After logging into your tweeto account click on the RSS icon on the right hand menu or in the browsers address bar.

2) On the new page that is shown select “Live Bookmark” from the drop down list.

3) Save the bookmark to your bookmark menu or toolbar.

4) You will now have a live feed of your active tasks in your browser. To complete a task just click on it!

How-to: Edit tasks

POSTED AT 18:38 on 11th May 2007

Editing your tasks with tweeto couldn’t be simpler. If you have javascript enabled in your browser just double click on the task you wish to edit and then make any changes in the form at the top of the page. For the degraded non-javascript version you just have to click on the task once and the edit form will open on a new page.

How-to: Manage your tasks priority

POSTED AT 10:20 on 10th May 2007

There is no specific way to manage task priorities with tweeto, but we do have other features that let you create your own system to manage priorities - which gives you more control and you can do it the way that works best for you!

Method 1 - Colored Labels
The first method is to create your own color system to identify priority and then use the colored labels to mark your tasks. E.g.

Red = Urgent
Yellow = Can be rescheduled
Green = No deadline

Method 2 - Tags
The second method is to simply tag your tasks with a priority. This has the added benefit over the first method of being able to filter your tasks by individual tags.

You could then also use a mixture of both methods to create a more detailed system, but the real benefit of this is that you can create your own system to match your own work flows and so tweeto won’t get in your way as much as many other task managers that force you to work in a certain way.

POSTED AT 16:29 on 9th May 2007

We have justed launched the first of our email features!

This new feature allows you to email your task list, or a filtered version of it, to yourself or anybody with an email address. We have been using it internally to send each other lists of things to do and are finding it incredible useful for managing our projects and clients requests.

You can access the new feature by clicking on the little email icon on the right menu and the form will appear for you to provide the email address and intro message.

Let us know what you think and how you use the feature.

Enjoy!

How-to: Set a deadline date

POSTED AT 14:18 on 9th May 2007

To keep the tweeto interface simple and uncluttered we actively decided to keep the input fields to an absolute minimum and not just add more fields for the sake of something only 5% of our users might use. One of these features that few people use is a deadline or due date, but despite this we still get emails asking us to add the field. To all these people we offer the following solution:

When adding a task set the deadline date as a tag. This will then allow you to quickly sort your tasks by due date and you can use your own wording/formatting.

With Deadline Date

Deadline Date Tags

Because tags can contain anything that you like you can easily make up your own system for managing your deadline to suit your needs and is far more customizable than a specific field for a due date.
