Well, I've been hearing about this web based application idea & here I am. I can see using this in many ways - at work and with various groups I am involved with - mostly Quaker. The list of templates is a great source for how all this new technology can be used. WOW!!! I wonder if it works well for people who have dial up connections (me!). I think the theme word here is...collabrative!!!!
I have already sent out links to friends who will find them useful! One is called 30boxes http://www.30boxes.com/welcome.php and supports creation of collaborative calendars. I sent the link to the office staff at my daughters school. I can also see myself using it to merge all the crazy aspects of my life....2 kids school schedules, volunteer commitments, social stuff and work. Even if it does take a while to set it up, it will be better that trying to make sure I have everything in all 3 hard copy calendars (purse, office desk & home kitchen).
I also created documents in both Google Docs https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=writely&passive=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2F&followup=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2F<mpl=homepage&nui=1 & Zoho http://writer.zoho.com . Google Docs was very easy to use & access since it is connected to google & I already use a gmail account regularly. It only offers basic documents and spreadsheets. But Zoho...wow!!! It offers many more options - basic documents, spreadsheets, slide shows, wikis, notebook, planner, creator, chat & meeting!!! I can see this becoming the "go to" place for everything.
