Memories of my beloved Glo worm.

#45 Go with the flow

bubbl.us would be great during team training session maybe instead of the butcher paper. bubbl.us also would be useful for mapping out essays or research papers instead of numerous bits of paper.

Flowchart.com is a good way to create flowchart online. No software to install or downloads. An advantage is that you can collaborate with your colleagues in real-time when creating your flowchart. All collaborating parties can chat and design a flowchart at the same time.

Gliffy.com is a great free tool that lets you not only create flowcharts but also allows you to create floorplans throughout your house with virtual furniture.

#44 Nag yourself

I'm not too sure have difficult Jott.com is to use and how accurate the system is with voice recognition but with access to mobile phones and email, I don't know if I would use this system.

#42 Google Groups / Usenet

I have only recently came back to Google newsgroups due to a few good Google parenting newsgroups. I have found Newsgroups to be useful as they allow you to post a message asking for advice or a place to come and discuss ideas. But the disavantage of the newsgroups is, (as displayed on soc.libraries.talk) the newsgroup can be filled with advertisments and also there can be a lot going on and your post can get missed or even not answered.

#39 Animoto

#35 Twitter

#32a Box.net

Box.net is a very useful tool that allows you to upload files (documents, spreadsheets, imagines)to your own web space, which you can access from any computer. Plus the advantage of having Zoho to edit documents online instead of having to re up-load new versions.

#32 Omnidrive

Signup To Omnidrive - Problem

"Omnidrive BetaOmnidrive is currently in Beta, and we have reached capacity in terms of number of users. We expect to allow more user signups during late May (a small run while we roll a trial of the new 1.0 version) and then expect to completely open signups up again once the 1.0 version of the product is launched. Currently a firm date for the 1.0 release has not been set, but we anticipate that most users will be migrated to it during June, and it will be open to all new users in July".

#31 Plaxo

I created an account for Plaxo and added dates to the calendar, my blogspot address, yahoo email address.
Plaxo could be useful in the workplace as the site provides an automatic updating of contact information. Staff could store their information on Plaxo's servers. When this information is edited by the user, the changes appear in the address books of all those who listed the account changer in their own books. Also very useful is that Plaxo is compatible with a number of Web 2.0 applications like MySpace, Twitter, Amazon.com, Flickr, users receive updates in a feed, and can easily keep tabs on friends from one location.

#29 Scrapblog

#28 Magazine cover

27# Photobucket

As I have an account with Photobucket, I am already familar with this tool for searching and upload imagines (ebay). What I enjoy most about photobucket is that you can upload videos and edit or remix the content, and then save them to individual albums, blogs etc

#26 Yourminis

Widgets are a really fun and easy tool to use, I have a few widgets (pictures, do list, weather, games etc) set up on my Google sidebar.

One of my favourite is the virtual flower pot that will grow as long as you give it some water. But neglected and it will shrink.

#25 LetterPop Newsletter

Still having problems - I will return later.

#24 File Conversion

Zamar is a free online service that will convert video, audio, and documents. You upload the file, enter your email address, and Zamzar will send you a note when your new file is ready for download. Depending on the traffic it could take up to an hour as I found when I converted a document to PDF. But I did find Zamzar to be a very simple self explantory web based file conversion tool. What makes Zamzar even better is that you dont need to install or remember passwords meaning you can use Zamzar on any computer.

Welcome Back

Well it's back to work!!!
