Thing 7

Yeah, I didn't just pick two. That's like having two pieces of popcorn or 2 M&M's.

I already know I love Google Calendar because I can use more than one calendar (mine, community room, and home one) and they sync automatically with my Droid.

This makes Evernote attractive because it has an Android app.  Right now I use Facebook Notes in a similar but much more limited way - I put recipes and patterns there because I'm always misplacing the paper copies. My Nook Color is also very useful for this purpose.

Zotero looks very useful for research. If I ever decide to go for that Ph.D....

I signed up for Drop Box but I admit I was motivated more by the chance to give Polly more storage space than a burning need right now.

I use Astrid Tasks on my Droid for my to do list, but I'm not great about checking it. Now if it had a sticky notes option like my desktop at home, that might work.

I've used Google Docs with friends before and it did make it easy to share addresses but that's all we really used it for.

I want to play with only2clicks and see if it would be good for making weblists for patrons.
I need to take another look at the one that lets you mark up screen shots of websites and see if it would work for making instructions for using the catalog but I couldn't figure out the whole sharing part.

Todaysmeet.com was easy to use and did make me wonder if it would work for staff meetings since I have a predominantly part time staff, but I would have some who would have trouble with it.

  1. Thanks for the extra Evernote space! I had a tasks app for my droid also. But like you, I wasn't good about checking it. Everflowy has helped me with longer term projects, but I hate to admit that my list of daily to-do's still gets scribbled on scraps of paper on my desk and the kitchen counter.
