Hot on the heels of my post on how Facebook could be a killer productivity application, Read/WriteWeb has an article on the 10 most useful Facebook Apps for workers. Did you know that you can embed a calendar, todo list, and even send real email to other facebookers, from inside of Facebook?  Me either. Check ...

We just finished a series over at the LifeDev Tools blog that asks the question of which is better: paper or digital-based productivity systems? While everyone has their own opinions as to which is better, we’d argue that it’s best to combine both. Both types of tools have certain unique features that are awesome, and ...

Well, after the successful launch of the productivity video blog, I’ve decided to start another blog on the brand new LifeDev network. I love just about anything involving productivity tools.

We’ve written before on one of our most favorite Extensions for Firefox: GTDGmail. However, since then the extension has gone through some changes. First and foremost, the extension’s name has been changed to GTDInbox (courtesy of Google’s lawyers). But secondly, they’ve come out with an update that gives a 2-minute timer to help with blazing ...

The Mind Mapping Software Weblog has a nice comparison complete with charts that show the differences between online mind-mapping applications.  The article focuses on four of the most popular mapping software: Mindomo, Bubbl.us, Mindmeister and Thinkature. I think my favorite is still Bubbl.us, but that’s probably because I’ve played with it most.  What’s your favorite ...
