Todd, Toodledo reminds me of a post I recently read on Seth Godin's blog about the 'world's worst toaster'. It was a toaster with tons, and tons of options, but ultimately it wasn't able to keep up with it's more simple toaster competition BECAUSE of those options.

Obviously ToodleDo has a market for people who'd like every feature under the sun, but I feel it will often slow you down with things you don't need.

I actually find that Toodledo is customizable enough that you can turn off the "distracting" features. I know prefer it over OminFocus. I think Toodledo is perfect for GTD and I use it exclusively.

Re: I love the word "Favorite"

I completely agree. I don't feel that the current use of the word 'favorite' really establishes the strength of the word A great example of mediocrity in "Favorite" is YouTube.

I think simply providing a 'like' option as the default, and offering favorite as an option is great. Why? Favorite doesn't mean a thing to people who don't trust you anyway, but to people who trust you that's a powerful recommendation.

Adam,

The only problem with adding a "favorite" translation is that the word can get lost in translation and lose its meaning.

Through various books, magazines, and articles, I have found that a lot of people use the word "favorite" to describe virtually everything they come across in hopes of achieving additional traffic.

Although I don't feel they are operating with bad intentions, the over use of the word makes its underlying theme lose its meaning entirely.

My advice to most people: If something really is your "favorite," than tell someone about it. However, if it's simply average, then let people know that as well....

Take care.... great blog!

Best,
Brian
