When it boils down to it, the main differentiator of a web application and a web site is that an app has much more interaction and is process-focused rather than content-driven. Users come in to achieve a goal: They provide data to the application, they use the application to enhance that data, and then they expect data to come out. They interact with components of the application and expect them to do something that brings them closer to their goal.

It started with a $200 monthly minimum, which it’s since lowered to $75. “At $200, our minimum was 4 to 8 times higher than our competitors,” says Johnson. “Applying a floor helps the right kinds of customers self-select our services. After all, we’re as interested in having the right customers as they are in having the right provider.”

Rolf F. Katzenberger over at Evomend has compiled a list of GTD lessons that he learned during the years:
- Setting up filter rules to sort unread email into folders is cool, but stupid.
- I hardly ever need anything from the archive (reference material).
- GTD is my friend and autopilot.
- Top tasks take care of themselves.
- Real standards defy all competition.
- I will never again waste time on time management.
- I can see – always – what I need to do, wait for or monitor.
Everything he listed makes perfect sense in the realm of GTD. Agreeing with the entire article.
