Backpack Backpack is a personal and small business information management and to do list organizer. It has email and mobile reminders and you can share lists and information with others in a group. You might want to use something like this for a discussion planning team or other group project. There’s an article about using it with the “Getting Things Done” system if you are interested in that though I recommend Nozbe more for a true GTD online system. The same people have the free chat site called Campfire.
