For a while I've been using I Want Sandy, an "online assistant," as part of my GTD system. I liked using Backpack as an online to-do system, mainly for its ability to create a to-do item via email. Thought of something to do? Just send it in an email to the right address and boom! it's on your list. But sorting items was needlessly complex (why can't I drag items from one page to another?) so I dropped it in favor of Sandy, which did the same thing, was simpler, and was free. I mostly used Sandy as a capture system, not an organizational tool, but I got very used to creating to-do items and calendar events just by sending email.

Alas, Sandy is quitting. She's been acquired by Twitter and they'll be shutting off the service in two weeks. Wherever shall I go? Whatever shall I do?
