Thing 17: Online Productivity

Give a review of the tool you explored - what worked, what didn't work, how might it be used in your personal or professional life?

Two of these online tools really caught my eye, Remember the Milk and 30 Boxes. I live by both lists and calendars. Currently I spend a lot of time creating lists and calendars on my PC to print out and take with me. I think I could really benefit from an on-line version. I’ve been looking for an on-line calendar my family could all access and add activities to help us stay organized and keep us informed. I have tried Cozi but it didn’t have all the features I wanted. I need to play around a little more with 30 Boxes to see if it will work for us.

What I really want to share with you is GoodReads. I like it better than LibraryThing or Shelfari. You can do so many things. You have different shelves for books you’ve read, are currently reading, and want to read. There are lots of reviews. You can invite others as friends. The plus is that several authors belong to GoodReads and accept friends. It even includes cookbooks! Here are some of the books on my Books I've Read Shelf.

  1. Just curious. I use Shelfari and it seems to do the same things that you mentioned about goodreads. What did you find least attractive about Shelfari? - thanks for help!
