Thing 13

Thing 13 - Online Productivity Tools

I set up a Google home page. I'd been planning on switching to gmail for a while and the Google home page and gmail are far superior to what I'm currently using at home. In addition since I can access my Google Reader account from the home page I'll probably remember to look at my RSS feeds more frequently.

I spent some time exploring the calendars. I like that Remember the Milk can be added to Google calendar. Having everything accessible from one place should increase my productivity. I'm interested in trying out Scribe and added myself to the "to be notified" list. A big selling point was the video shows it being used on the Foxfire browser. A few tools we've covered work in IE but not Firefox.

I couldn't get Kiko to load in either Firefox. Backpack looks interesting but the free account is too limited to be useful to me.
