Happy Birthday Twitter, you are 3 years old now and still online. It all started on 21st of March 2006 when Jack Dorsey sent his first Tweet and, together with Evan Williams, Biz Stone and others, created a social media company that has grown over 1300% in the last year.

According to a post on Nielsen Wire, unique visitors to Twitter.com increased 1,382 percent year over year, from 475,000 unique visitors in February 2008 to 7 million in February 2009. This growth earned it the title of “fastest growing member community site,” a term that encompasses not just social networks but any online community – even one such as online wiki community Wikia, which, incidentally, came in at number five on the list. Zimbio and Facebook followed Twitter, growing 240 percent and 228 percent, respectively.

gupplogo.jpgI have discovered Gubb.net yesterday, an amazing Web-based application with an easy-to-use interface that enables anyone to create, manage and share an unlimited number of lists. In short, it’s an easy way to finally organize your life.

Signing-up process is easy, after getting to the main page, you can create list with different colors with simple clicks, you can also set the way you like to show your list on the screen, screen-font-sizing option is on the top right side of the page.

I have tried almost all online To-Do list services, but finally I will stick to Gubb.net for few reasons, the easy-interface without complicating what you are really trying to do, 1 easy step to set a new list or to add a to-do that also can have the following 3 set-ups:
1- you can define the priority of the to-do with stars rating system
2- you can set a due date for the to-do
3- you can set a reminder to be received by email or sms text to you mobile

Another wonderful thing is that you can add to-dos to any of your lists by sending a simple email where the subject line is what you want to appear. Gubb.net also give you the option to add to-dos by sending sms text from your mobile, but unfortunately I can do this from where I living, for the time being this service is only available for mobile operators in the USA and Canada, hoping that will offer this service worldwide.

I would like to suggest to Gubb.net considering the following options:

1- Creating special numbers in the USA, where subscribers can send sms text from outside the USA that will drop in a given list created.

2- Be able to add items to lists by including your Gubb.net email address in the CC and/or BCC section of a message.

Gubb.net is also working on a desktop solution for PC and Mac that will be offered soon, as their website is saying.

Joe Bergeron & Josh Weinstein founded gubb to address one real time question: What’s with the total perplexing absence of Web-based applications built around our ceaseless obsession with lists, lists, lists?

Keep it up Gubb boys, I will spread the word !!!
