I started using a new family tree tool the other day and I absolutely love it!! Geni lets you socially create your family tree. This way my family can help me fill in the tree with the information I may not know. It even comes with the ability to download the GEDCOM [...]

I just finished taking the Google Docs Product Survey and wanted to point it out to you all too.
Take the survey and let Google know what you want improved with Google Docs.

A couple of months ago I mentioned drop.io as a way to send faxes for free over the internet - well that service is no more
Because of abuse to our fax service offering, we are temporarily changing the rules for our fax service for non-premium Drop.io customers. Starting today, non-premium users will [...]

Calgoo has always sounded handy, but I never tried it out. Today I learned that Calgoo is now available for free - making it easier for me to give it a whirl.
Never heard of Calgoo?

Finally! Talk about being behind the times! Ask has had walking directions for a long time now, but today I found Google Maps’ Walking Directions:

Did you know that Google Docs had templates? I didn’t! Check them out here.
The directory includes links to templates for all three doc types (presentations, spreadsheets and word processing) including resumes and personal finance forms.
Very handy!!

Thanks Phil for pointing this out:
TinyURL is the best known of the URL shortening services. At very long last they’ve added in the option of setting your own custom alias - I grabbed http://www.tinyurl.com/philb20 for my Web 2.0 weblog.
I’m trying to think of what I link to often that needs a TinyURL …

Several librarians I know have Moo cards. I however stuck to my custom business cards ordered from VistaPrint because I preferred the standard size. Now Moo is offering full sized business cards!
Going to have to hide the credit cards so I don’t go crazy buying cards with puppy pictures

I wanted to try Wordle again. I decided to put in my resume from LinkedIn and my Publications & Presentations to see who I was according to Wordle.

Adobe now has an online office suite. This from DownloadSquad:
Adobe has built a suite of online office applications to compliment Buzzword, the company’s online word processor. We’ve covered Buzzword in the past. It’s pretty, fast, and not really all that much more useful than similar products from Google or Zoho. Here’s a rundown of [...]

Well, I can’t say it’s a surprise, but 8apps has closed down. I was pretty impressed with what I saw when it launched, but every time I checked back, there were still only 4 apps …
Today I visited, only to find a note saying that the site had closed because the creator was [...]

Back in February I bookmarked Google Sites, but didn’t write about it because it was only available via Google Apps (which I get to use at work). Today I read that Google Sites is now available to all!
A few months ago, Google launched Google Sites, a hosted wiki product built on JotSpot technology. But [...]

I always look at the new web 2.0 type domains (del.icio.us, etc) and think - how the heck did they come up with that? Now, those of us that are a bit less creative can still come up with neat domains for our new sites:
DomainFinder is a web application for webmasters which helps you [...]

When I started working at home I realized how inconvenient it was to not have a fax machine (we don’t have a land line - but our printer can fax…). I spent ages searching for a fax tool that would let me do everything with PDFs online. Today I find a link to [...]

I was working on some Google Docs today and noticed a little New! icon in the top corner. I clicked it only to find this:

Looks like we can now edit our Google Docs offline - I’ll have to play with this before my next Office 2.0 class.

I have written a bunch about this handy tool - most recently I was happy to announce that a version for Mac was released. Now I’ve been pointed to an article about Evernote on Machinist.
Evernote is a forgetter’s dream, but the tool isn’t only for those of us gone mushy in the brain. In [...]

I just found out about Photoshop Express and had to sign right up. You can see my page at http://nengard.photoshop.com.
Upload, sort, polish, and store up to 2GB of photos. All for free. Resize, tint, distort, and more — add your mark to all your images. Then show them off on Adobe® Photoshop® Express or [...]

Check out the news!
Our team has a real affinity for free-spirited types, and so we spend a lot of time thinking up ways to make Google Docs friendlier even to people on the go. If you’re one of those, you already know how you can access your Google Docs from anywhere, [...]

Right now librarians are using wikis to keep track of their conferences and conference schedules (like mine for CIL2008), but Sched.org looks like it would be a much better alternative. Right now it only has a schedule for the SXSW conference, but the site does say “Coming Soonish: Create a Sched for your own [...]

Trevor Owens talked to us about Zotero. The slides are already online and the video should be there soon.

What is it?
Zotero is a Firefox add on that lets you:

store items and take notes

bring in attachments

drag and drop into the collection and tag things if you want

archive entire webpages and highlight text and add sticky [...]

Looks like LinkedIn didn’t only add a new look, but new features. You can now update your status:

And you can join and create groups!

All looks fun - no groups that are right for me yet - but maybe soon.

When did this happen? I feel like I’m missing out on so much! I was adding a couple of new books to LibraryThing this morning and saw “status” so I said “what is that?” and clicked it. It’s a way to keep track of which books you’ve read and haven’t read! Finally [...]

When I was taking my classes online, I could have used a list like this so that I could work with my classmates on projects. Mashable has a list of 13 online presentation apps.

Geeze, I go to a conference and come home to find that Google Docs has changed - and so has LinkedIn! LinkedIn has released a new design. So far it looks good to me - I can find everything I need and it’s a bit cleaner/moderner. Check it out.
