Google Adds To-Do List to Arsenal of Products

Google has added Tasks to Gmail allowing users to create to-do lists and turn Gmail messages into tasks. As noted on the Gmail blog, Tasks is part of Google Labs, so essentially it’s in a beta mode of sorts and could break. It’s fairly simple, but allows for grouping of tasks under to-dos and offer some other features as deadlines. You’ll need to enable tasks in Gmail by visiting the Google Labs setting page.
