Page level "tagging" is not tagging. I want to tag items and then be able to dynamically filter on them. Being able to do that is amazingly powerful. Not being able to do that is very annoying and it precludes me from using BackPack. For now, I'm using Vitalist. Despite a couple of key shortcomings, it is a good tool.

I just did a massive review of many GTD tools that I just posted on my site. Backpack is the easiest I've found so far, although there are a lot of other cool ones out there too. Great blog you have! that’s my fav too. I just did a massive review of many GTD tools that I just posted on my site.

With the calendar feature, it may be worth considering again. Right now, the only online tool I use is GCal, but that doesn't leave me with a place to collect "stuff" and set up - as you point out - reminders that aren't tied to events. Any experience migrating from GCal to Backpack? I’ve been on and off and on and off again with free version of Backpack. With the calendar feature, it may be worth considering again.
