Thing 13. Online Productivity Tools

Blog Prompts

* Which start page did you choose? - PageFlake

* Why did that one appeal to you? - I liked the widgets.

* Will you make it your permanent home page? - No, it's a bit too clunky.

* Did you find a tool that has some uses for you at the library or at home? Which tool(s) would you recommend to others?

* How can the online calendars be useful to you?
- This will be great for advising about meetings without having to send email - especially if I can get it onto the group's blog, which I wasn't able to figure out how to do, yet. Set up calendars in both SpongeCell and Google. Couldn't make the calendar display on the blog. I even tried mucking about in CSS.

* What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…? To-do lists are, by definition, too much work.
* Did you try out Backpack? What did you think?
* Did you try any of the other tools in the list? Any good ones we should all try?

Challenge (optional)

1. Have a big project that you need to complete? Online productivity tools can help with complicated tasks involving multiple people, deadlines, and activities. Compare and contrast these project management services. Let us know what you think
