It's not that we're Luddites, exactly; it's just that we haven't found a digital outlet that works quite as well as our trusty spiral notebook for making lists, jotting down notes and generally keeping all of our ducks in a row.
Until now. Backpack is the cream of the crop of web-based information keepers. Sure, it lets you create to-do lists (and gleefully check off items when they're done) and set up email alerts, but it goes far beyond that. You can create an entire dashboard around a project, with checklists, photos you've uploaded, pertinent links, supporting documents (they appear as icons, just like on your desktop) and anything else you might need; and then you can share the whole thing with a click.
The free version gives you five pages' worth of organizing (with tabs, another nifty, intuitive way Backpack simplifies things); and a few subscription options, from $5 to $14 a month, let you store as many as 1000 pages (with up to 500MB of files).
