TASCK is a bare-bones task list-manager web application. What TASCK lacks in features, it makes up for in minimalism. Literally, the only thing you can do on the site is add tasks by hovering over the plus symbol, and either check off or delete them as you complete them. It's unclear what the difference is between checking off a task and deleting it; in either case the list item simply disappears.

Though you don't need to sign up to use TASCK, it's probably a good idea to if you plan on making any serious use of the site. Simply clicking the How To Use link and then going back to the site was enough to lose the short list of items I had entered.

The name TASCK is intended to be a combination of the words tack and task. The site is intended as a task management tool for people that are too busy to fuss with more complicated task managers.

If you're looking for something a little more functional than a plain text document, but without all the confusing bells and whistles that today's batch of GTD-inspired applications offer, TASCK might be right down your alley.

While it seems that task managers are everywhere these days, there's a good reason for it. Task management is all about working out a process for getting your tasks done, and there are a million different work flows. If you're not one for a regimented methodology like Getting Things Done, but need to implement a tool that allows a team to collaborate, check out Colabolo.

Unlike many collaboration tools, Colabolo is a desktop application, albeit one with roots in the web world. It's built using Adobe's increasingly popular AIR platform, which allows Colabolo to be a cross-platform tool right out of the gate.

Colabolo seems to be a hybrid of a traditional task management tool, and bug or issue tracking system. It looks like it could be easily used for the latter, but Colabolo's website seems aimed at positioning the tool as a collaboration tool for any business team, not just developers or IT people. The program takes an interesting approach to file sharing amongst team members; you can attach a file to an issue, and others on your team can download that file as long as your computer is connected to the network. This is an elegant solution for business customers that are co-located (and therefore on the same schedule), but could be problematic for teams that are geographically distant from one another.

Unlike many similar tools, Colabolo offers the ability to customize your team's work flow, and to have multiple work flows depending on what function is being tracked. So, for example, you might have a development work flow, but also an order processing workflow.

The product is currently free while in beta, but will be charging a low per-user monthly fee once the product matures enough to leave beta status.
