“I’m an institution man, now”1. Over the years, I’ve become a big fan (should I say addicted?) to a Google-based workflow. The tools provided by Google are excellent, and still continue to improve on a daily basis. The last updated I’ve noticed were: google talk video (and there goes skype), the multiple account sign-in mechanism (no more two browsers open, one for each account) and the “face-lift” to gmail interface.
Regarding the last item, it seems that Google could have done better regarding tasks management. Mail and Contacts seem very well integrated, but Tasks seem a bit out-of-place. What’s that little pop-up windows all about? I think that’s the only thing that makes me use a “foreign” app in my workflow.
If Tasks were to follow the EverNote or OneNote approach, that would be perfect. And after that… maybe a Google based file syncing service. And them… web-based mind-mapping. And them…

You can try Remember the Milk + Gmail approach: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/gmail/
Still not perfect because it does not integrate perfectly with Google Calendar
If only Google Tasks was any better …
