Gmail launches tasks. Necessary?


Announced yesterday, you can now keep track of what you need to do within Gmail. Sounds great, but Rob over at Regular Geek makes a few valid points on this new app and wonders why they didn’t just team up with a task management system like Remember the Milk.  Some of the most notable being:

  • Gmail and Gtalk have had issues lately and this app is bound to have problems on its first release.
  • Remember the Milk makes revenue from selling ‘pro’ subscriptions.

On top of that, Google has been laying off people lately.  I think the case can be made that they are spreading themselves too thin.
