#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.

#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.

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.
