For us compulsive list-makers
My friend Joyce recently wrote about some cool Web 2.0 tools, including one called Ta Da List which allows you to make lists of all sorts. You can make the lists public (hmm), you can share them with selected others, or you can just keep them private. I'm thinking that my book club could share a list that we can each add to as we think of titles between meetings. That strategy might help us with our "What should we read next?" discussions.
This is a really simple tool. You can't import or export to other devices or applications (though you can e-mail lists). But sometimes simple is best. Ta Da List does what it does and does it well. If you want to get fancy, you can embed html tags in your lists. So we could link our book titles to Amazon or Library Thing or a library online catalog.
It's fun to think of the kinds of lists you can make. A list of birthday presents you want. A list of birthday presents you need to get. A list of Star Trek episodes you've seen. A list of things to do before you die. What lists would you make?

there's something about lists that's just very appealing... i don't know what it is. hm. or maybe it's just me :)
A list of all the lists I need to make? ;-)
Seriously, though, what about a list of things to do on a group project and as each person accomplishes one, everyone else will know it has been crossed off the list?

Lists are good for us uber-organized people... and people with cats. XP
