Tomorrow is the launch date for Backpack, the next web application from the wonderful folks at 37 Signals. I can’t wait. Just some background. 37 Signals is a five person design and application development firm known for creating simple applications that don’t try to do everything, but that do a few things very well. They already offer a project management system called Basecamp and a free list tool called Ta-da List.

I am especially looking forward to Backpack, which at its core is a personal information manager, because I have recently become a huge fan of GTD and 43 Folders. Therefore, I could really use one simple web-based application to manage both my personal and professional information. Backpack is supposed to allow me to do just that. Backpack should allow me to organize many of the things things I need access to on a daily basis, all in one place including text, notes, lists, pictures, due dates, and emails.
