Online Productivity Tools

Wow! I really enjoyed learning about some of the online productivity tools out there. I have had some experience with Google Docs. As I recall there was some confusion on how to set up all users who would be editing. We ran into a few snags but in the end we got it to work.

ThinkFree was a site that I found very interesting. This is one I can definitely see using at work as a means to communicate on projects. I'd be interested in hearing from people who have used it before. Do you find it more useful that Google Docs? It sounds like a nice alternative to Google Docs.

Some of my other favorites were Basecamp, Snipshot, and 30 Boxes. Basecamp is one that I'm definitely going to use. I'm looking forward getting myself set up and organizing my personal and professional projects. I thought Snipshot was a neat tool simply because you don't have to download any software. It's a nice tool to have for quick and simple editing. 30 Boxes was also a neat tool. I can definitely see the usefulness of all of these resources.

This has to be one of my favorite sections of this course. I learned a lot! I had no idea there were so many neat tools online that are useful and free!
