stuff to buy stuff to do stuff to see

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).

I've been using backpackit for a year now, and couldn't live without it. You might check out Bascamp, though. Not the same, but similar, and geared more towards collaborating on one project with several people. Sadly, not free:http://www.basecamphq.com

I've tried to use Backpack and Basecamp for various projects, both personal and professional, since they first came out. I have never found any sort of project where either app does what I want to do, or organize how I want to organize.
