Motivation
The truth is that I don’t make any money from these applications. They were never intended to be a business. I wrote them because I wanted them, it was an opportunity to learn something new, and like most people I love creating things. I determined that for less than I spend on coffee, I could put them online and share them with everyone.
(the astute among you have noticed ads on tastkoy. I assure you that they don’t come close to covering my costs. Since I talk to a lot of aspiring web entrepreneurs, I thought it would be interesting to collect data about how much one can make from ad revenue for niche applications)
However, there have been significant benefits to building these applications. I receive a lot of email from people, just telling me how grateful they are (these are strongly encouraged 
). I get a lot of suggestions for new features, some of which I really think will benefit me, so I implement them. I have received a few job offers (however, I’m quite happily employed). And surprisingly, I’ve ended up meeting several people who live in the Boston area who have ideas of their own or just wanted to have lunch and talk about GTD or programming.
There is no business, and there is no business model. Think of something that you would do anyway and imagine being sent thank-you notes from all over the world just for doing it, and you’ll see why there doesn’t have to be.

I really enjoyed Tasktoy when it came out…there’s not much out there that’s both easy to use and free and your app is great. Thanks much for sharing, I think it’s awesome, especially since dealing with requests and support is something people should always get paid for cause it’s a pain (IMHO). At least you have some excellent portfolio pieces! I’d like to do a google mashup to find happy hours in Seattle, but I don’t cause I’m selfish and lazy and work on work instead :op

Toby,
There was a time when the site experienced a few outages (a while back), and felt really guilty for asking when it was going to back online, since I know there’s only you to support it. However, for the past year or so, Tasktoy has been hugely reliable! Thanks for whatever changes you made.
The truth is, I’ve come to rely on tasktoy both in my personal and professional life (I have both Work and Home locations), and I don’t what I would do without it.
There a few things in life that I think are really great… Chimay beer, Lavazza coffee, and Tasktoy!
Thanks for sharing your creation with the world,
Mike

Hello Toby,
For me Tasktoy is the ideal timemanagementtool; it’s simple, it’s quick, it’s online (so it can be used anywhere) and it has a mobile pendant at www.tasktoy.come/mobile
It has made my working and private life a lot more relaxed.
The only thing i’m a bit worried about is its continuity; i would like to pay for it if it’s continuity is guaranteed.
Thanx!

Making your personal Caralluma Burn weight loss plan isn’t that difficult whatsoever, all that you should do would be to research the web and you will absolutely have the information which you will want. There are lots of websites that will mention healthy and natural strategies to lose fat. Reading articles on these web sites will really help you big time. Here’s a good example of things to include in an all natural weight loss plan; firstly you have to make sure you are getting enough minerals and vitamins in what you eat from nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meats, oily fish, oats, beans, nuts and seeds, and get away from wasting your daily calorie allowance on “empty-calorie-foods” that contain calories but no nutrition, like regular sodas, alcohol, sweets and candy.
