I really enjoyed this week as it demonstrated the wide range of free online applications and tools that now exist. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the range, but it allows users to be selective over what is available and to consider whether these applications & tools have a place in one’s 2.0 world.
The Slideshare presentation highlighted some interesting free online productivity tools such as Jott (a voice mail application) and Picnik (photo editing program). Senduit/YouSendIt sounds interesting - I had an instance the other day where I couldn’t send a large PowerPoint slide to an email address due to size issues. Tada list might be a great tool if collaborating with others on a “to do” list perhaps for a wedding, family reunion, play group function, 30th birthday etc?
I’ve used Google Docs for some time and see its potential for collaborative projects and events. I love the idea of a shared workspace where all participants are aware of the latest version of a document and have access to older versions if required. I’m sure all of us have been in a position at some point or another where we’ve been confused by which version of a document is the most current and have seen comments added to incorrect versions!
