Last Thursday, we kicked off the first of many “live” user sessions on Twitter. We started the series with a general focus group, asking users how they discovered Springpad, what they think of some of the new features and what features they found confusing when they first signed up.

The involvement from our twitter followers was great! We’re encouraged that twitter will be a fruitful use of social media for collecting ideas and input, and will only help us make Springpad better!

There have been many questions about how to best use Springpad for GTD, and a couple of our awesome users have written great how-to guides!

Daniel Gold posted his own guide on using Springpad for GTD.

Then as a follow-up to Daniel’s post, Marcel Chaudron posted about how to set up GTD in Springpad.

And more recently, Bobby Travis wrote his own post on how to use Springpad for GTD over at 40Tech.com.

With the many capabilities Springpad has, we have seen the system used in very different and creative ways.  One user that caught our eye, John Radebaugh, started using Springpad to create an easily shareable digital collection of his artwork.

One of our users developed a Chrome Extension for Springpad called SpringChrome. Check it out!

We love it!
