Week 8, Thing 18: Online Productivity Tools

Jim DeArmey and I have been using Google Spreadsheets to help us track the blogs for the 23 Things program. Its been very easy to use and very convenient. Jim and I can each access it from any computer and have even used it at the same time although that seems to take a little longer. The best thing is that we can instantly see the changes the other person has made to the document. Its also nice that you can use the docs and then set it up to post directly to your blog. What does that tell us about how many people are using blogs?

I’ve also tried Airset as an online calendar. Its at least as good as Outlook. It even lets you set up shared calendars for all parts of your life while still keeping some things private. A shared calendar could be shared with your spouse and family or with co-workers for coordinating office schedules. For the shared part of the calendar, those people with whom you choose to share, can also add to the calendar. You have to try it, I’m probably not explaining it very well!
