DropTask is a free online project and task management service. Unlike all the other services of this type that we have talked about before, DropTask allows you to visually play around with projects and tasks using bubbles. Each new task will be added to the project worksheet as a bubble. Inside the bubble text of what the task is about can be typed and after you’re done, the entire project worksheet can be shared with your friends.
Example of how a project worksheet looks with several tasks added to it can be seen on the screenshot given below.

Two bubbles that you can see in the larger light yellow bubble are tasks. The larger bubbles can be used in order to group tasks. All of these things are done using your mouse, by dragging the bubbles from the menus and then organizing them on the worksheet.
