Thing #45: Go with the flow - flowcharts & mindmaps

I found Gliffy the easier to use of the flowchart sites. Found it quite easy to create a couple of basic flowcharts.
I enjoyed creating a mindmap on Mindmeister I created a free account, watched the 4 minute video, and then proceeded to create a mindmap. This tool is very useful both in work and home life.

Thing #44: Nag yourself

Jott is an interesting idea.

Thing #42: Google Groups / Usenet

Just been exploring Google Groups This is another great way of sharing ideas, information etc with other people on topics, hobbies etc. that interest you. There seem to be groups on just about anything. I checked out a few of the library groups and found some pretty interesting information there. I also looked at some groups on some of my interests. This is definitely a "thing" useful both in your professional and personal life.

Thing #39: Animoto

Hi again from Catwoman. Just been trying to set up an account on Animto. Might actually do this one at home, as it requires sound and video. Will get back to this "thing" soon.

Thing #35: Mini or micro blogging

Just been exploring Twitter I set up an account, and sent a few messages. It's very much like MSN that I have used in the past. And also like texting from your mobile This seems to be the replacement for emailing, especially for the next generation. Its great for organising social activities with friends

Thing #32: Online file storage

Just been exploring Box.net I opened an account. Created a folder and uploaded a file from my H drive. Then, using Zoho Writer it was quite easy to edit the file. I don't have an image to edit as I am doing this excersise on my ATO Net machine. As soon as my home PC is up and running again, I will try editing some photos, using Picnik Over all I can see this as being a pretty useful tool.

Thing 31: Get Organized with Plaxo

.
Hi again. Just been exploring Plaxo I set up an account, quite easily. Also added some of my favourite sites such as Flickr, Youtube. I even added some "events" in my calendar. It seems like a very useful tool for organising your work and personal activities etc, and easy to use. Not sure about all this information being "out there". A good idea to make it viewable for only select family and friends.
