Over the weekend, in addition to releasing the new Date Night Planner, we made some great improvements to springpad.
New Features, available now in springpad :
1. Navigation Change: You’ll notice a collapsible “drawer” on the left of the screen. From talking to users, we learned that most people focus on one task at a time. By removing the clutter, we’re hoping to help with that focus.
2. Bookmarklet: the web clipper is now available for Safari, Firefox & Chrome. Internet Explorer support is coming soon!
3. Calendar: We’ve made several usability improvements – Check it out!
4. Gifts: Keep track of the gifts you give – Record recipient, price & tracking number.
5. Business Locations: Add businesses to your springpad – We’ve integrated with Yelp & Yahoo Local to make searching quick & easy.
6. Map Events: Add Contacts or Businesses to Events to make them show up on your springpad maps.
7. Date Night Planner: read more about our latest springpad launch!

Nice to see these updates – but where is the ability to remove and archive completed tasks or sort tasks by due date?
Mike – We are working on making tasks more usable. As I am sure you can imagine, there are lots of different ways that tasks lists can work & we want to be sure that our eventual improvements meet the needs of the vast majority of our users – that’s why we’re taking the time to do it the right way.
I know it’s a popular request & I want to assure you that we’re taking it seriously. Let’s chat more via email, so I can collect your specific ideas about how it should work.
