Does anyone use Google-Apps for their GTD methodology?

Do you use Google search? Do you use YouTube? If not what do you suggest besides Gmail and Google Apps?

I do have a Gmail account, which I started years ago for junk email. It’s been a source of concern, because I keep getting email intended for people with similar user names, e.g., fish and chips receipts from England and a guy in the southern US who is a bit behind on his mortgage. I watch youtube a little. Lately I’ve been getting ads for an internet scam “Air conditioner”.

In my experience, Google’s apps tend to have less functionality than similar apps and poorer design. What I would suggest depends on what platform(s) you use and other factors. However, both Apple and Microsoft have better apps for GTD, email, and office functions.
