Remember the Milk adds offline support
- 3 Comment
I wrote in an earlier entry about Google Gears and how it is an evolution of web apps as they become usefull when you don’t have internet access. Google Gears is an enabler. I recently came across a web app that I wrote about earlier – Remember the Milk. The site is a web-app to help you manage your tasks/to-do lists. They now have support for Google Gears. So now if you are working online and have to go offline for some reason, your info will be available. In addition you can add tasks while offline and they will synch up once you are online. This is great.
A small bullet going accross the bow of Microsoft. At some point this will become like an army of underdogs attacking the mighty Goliath. At some point something has to give. Microsoft will sink or evolve into something better. My bet is they’ll buy something better.

Right now my biggest hurdle from using Google Apps spreadsheets is that working offline is not that easy. I don’t want to export it out then work with it with my local spreadsheet software. I’m just waiting for Google Gears to be supported by Google Apps fully.

Remember the Milk is really nice, however they are a little bit to simplistic to meet my needs…

Yeah I don’t use it regularly. I just went to see if they added any more functionality.
I think Google will evolve their “Apps” suite into a nice package with offline usability. At that point I’ll be gold.
