If I was an average user and saw GTD in the first line like that and didn't know what it meant, I'd probably lose interest in the site. The definition is in the copyright text at the bottom, but some people may not make it down there.

You're right, and so we're going to change "GTD" to "Getting Things Done" as well as make it a link. Thanks!

An atom is < 256 characters of text.

Doing GTD helps, since that's primarily what Atombox is designed for, but I think having a "augmented memory" service helps any information/knowledge worker.

edited to clarify: an "atom" is our lingo, not something in the "Getting Things Done" book.

Real Men don't use atoms to get things done; they post them on twitter and have their friends hassle them to do it?

With apologies to Linus

Sounds like atom = snippet
