What is it and how is it of use to journalists?
The app is a 'to do' productivity app which allows you to schedule tasks. It syncs with a web version or application on your PC or Mac to allow you to manage tasks individually across devices or as a team. Newsrooms could use Wunderlist to manage their story prospects and journalists can use it to keep track of what they are working on.
There are a lot of task manager apps out there but Wunderlist succeeds where some others fail. It's intuitive and allows you to set up numerous lists for different areas of work and personal projects, with reminder alerts and an overdue list. <img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-39103" height="390" src="?cmd=ShowAsset&assetID=43063&nosurround=true&fakeExtension=.jpg" title="Wunderlist" width="260"> <img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-39104" height="390" src="?cmd=ShowAsset&assetID=43064&nosurround=true&fakeExtension=.jpg" title="Wunderlist list" width="260">
Launched last November, Wunderlist has just hit one million users. The company was launched exactly a year ago by 25-year-old Berliner Christian Reber along with his five other co-founder friends (hence 6Wunderkinder as the name of the company).
