Online Productivity Apps

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 ...

In yesterday’s post on using Gmail to organize your digital life, I brought up the fact that I haven’t been really wowed by Imified yet. Initially, I was pretty excited to test this little guy out. Combining all of those services looked like a great idea. I gave it an initial test run, but unfortunately ...

There’s a cool GTD web app that I’ve played around with called iCommit. It’s pretty interesting actually. It’s a little hard to understand at first, but once you get the hang of iCommit, it makes sense. Anywho, they’re apparently coming out with version 3 (they’re on version 2 right now), and it looks pretty sweet. ...

Workhack.com is such an easy todo list/writeboard application.  There’s nothing to it (almost literally).  It was built with the goal of keeping distractions limited.  There’s nothing flashy about this application at all.  The only ajax that’s used is the ability to drag and drop your list items. You can start creating todo lists without any ...

Wouldn’t it be nice to have all of the online productivity app in one place? Well, now there is! I’ve started LifeDev’s very own Big List of Online Productivity Tools. However, it is by no means complete. At all. Although there are a lot of great productivity applications on this list, it’s still lacking some ...

Looks like the online productivity app Remember the Milk has just added a dashboard widget for OS X.  This handy widget shows your tasks, either from a specific list or all of your lists. I’ve tried out RTM before, and really liked it. They’ve got a great feature set and is one of my favorite ...

Whoo doggies, Have I got a hot site for you creative types! If you’re into mind mapping, (which I am), then you’ll definitely need to check out Bubbl.us.  There’s a thorough review over at Solutionwatch, so I don’t need to re-hash the nuts and bolts of the app. What you do need to know is ...

My friend enlightenend me to running 2.0.  Gone are the days of hopping in the car and relying on the trusty odometer to calculate milage from my runs.  Now you can use a Google Maps mashup and track your routes online with FavoriteRun. FavoriteRun has a lot of functionality that is sure to help runners.  ...

Ok, so there’s been a lot of buzz around Twitter, the tool I previously thought to be so-so in terms of productivity.  Well, I’ve started  using it again and found that I may have been a little off in my initial review. In case you’re not familiar with Twitter, it’s basically a tiny blogging tool ...
