One of the brand new exhibitors at Macworld Conference and Expo this year will be Cultured Code, the maker of the task management software, Things. Michael Simmons, the Marketing Director for Cultured Code discusses both the desktop and iPhone versions of Things. Even though in public preview, with version 1.0 to be introduced at Expo, Things has been in development for two years, and has already branched off to the iPhone, making it a complete task management solution. Michael explains the key features and concepts of Things, why they do and don’t consider it a Getting Things Done (GTD) application, and how they tapped their community for suggestions and improvements, even before the formal software release.

The Road to Macworld Expo is a special MacVoices series produced in partnership with Macworld Conference & Expo to preview some of the exhibitors, speakers and presentations at Macworld Conference & Expo 2009 in San Francisco from January 5-9 at the Moscone Convention Center.
