Remember the Milk Gadget for Gmail

Gmail has a To-Do list manager now. Well not really. This is third-party integration of Remember the Milk (RTM) inside Gmail. RTM users have had a very effective Firefox extension for quite awhile so integration isn't new either.

The Remember The Milk Gmail gadget incorporates all the good stuff from the main RTM task management site like tags, multiple todo lists, and different task priorities. Everything entered in the Gmail gadget is available on the RTM website and any external services used too. If you aren't familiar with RTM already, check out the features and screencasts.

What makes this stand out is that it isn't tied to Firefox. Safari, Opera and IE users can use it now too. Since it is enabled inside Gmail it doesn't have to be installed on each computer you use.

I'm not sure if I prefer the way the Firefox extension works because the Gmail gadget is different than what I'm accustomed to using, or that it is new and doesn't have the same features yet.

The installation instructions require the use of another handy Gmail Labs gadget called "Add any gadget by URL." This allows you to add pretty much any iGoogle gadget inside Gmail too.
