Struggling to Find Right Web Apps
Rock Ford | May 4 2008
I apologize in advance if this question has already been posed a million times - I’m a newbie to online productivity suites. I’ve recently migrated to Google for nearly everything, including email, scheduling and task management, and RSS reading. However, I’m still struggling to find a way to meet all of my productivity needs online. Does Google offer anything similar to a personal wiki that I can use to capture thoughts, links, etc? Is this what Notebook is for? If so, it seems clunky as best. I’m tired of having to toggle between iGoogle, Zoho, and other apps just to get things done. What are my options? Should I upgrade to Google Apps? Install a wiki at my domain? I’m lost!! 1 Comment

What kinds of things are you trying to store, and how do you want to retrieve them? Documents? Quick ideas? Reference materials you can copy and paste into a system? When you want to get stuff back out, how and why? For ideas, do you want to review them regularly to see if it is time for them, or do you just kind of want to browse for inspiration? When you need to retrieve other information, do you usually need to just look through a category to see what answers your question, or is there something specific you want to find you can easily search for? That may not be exactly the right set of questions for you, but figuring out what you want feature-wise will make it easier to pick something. »
