It’s been a while since I looked at personal dashboard/site building tool ZooLoo , so when I recently had the opportunity to speak with the folks from the company about its new features, and how they have scaled things back to focus on the core product, I jumped at the chance.
When I last wrote about ZooLoo I mentioned how ambitious a product it was, and how that could make it overwhelming, ...

Plaxo , the contact synchronization service that we’ve covered previously , has released a much-improved version of its address book, the bread and butter of the app. The first thing you’ll notice is the speed. It’s now so much faster when searching your contacts. It actually starts displaying results as you’re typing the names in the search box in real-time, which is cool. Opening the contact re...

When two hundred journalists got together recently for an “un-conference” on the future of journalism , it was hardly surprising that the results were documented, minute by minute, through notes, wikis, photos, audio, video, blogs and an amazing number of tweets.
The organizers approached me to develop a web site to aggregate these posts in real-time before, during and after the event. In the ...

I encounter so many web apps over the course of any given day that some tend to get lost in the mix, especially the oddball little applications that do something that isn’t in my standard workflow. That doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate how useful and creative those apps are, just that I end up setting them aside to come back to later.
So here I’m going to give those apps a chance to shine, becaus...

Many of the team here at WebWorkerDaily are big fans of Dropbox , a file-sharing and syncing app. You can use it for doing many more things than just simple sharing of files. For example, Scott uses it to sync passwords between machines .
But did you know that you can use it to remotely control a PC? Akira is a lightweight Windows utility that — when used with Latte, its companion server — c...

As a longtime user, I’ve seen that one of the biggest obstacles to users adopting Microsoft Project is the app itself. It’s quite a complex application, and so it’s due for a productivity makeover to help it become more accessible to users who aren’t PMI certified .
The launch of the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta brings with it a number of changes. Here are some of its productivity enhanceme...

Is your LinkedIn profile as effective as it could be? While you can see your “profile completeness” score on your profile page, it doesn’t measure profile effectiveness — how good your profile is at attracting contacts, generating leads and showing off your skills. Use this checklist to ensure your profile is thorough, effective and updated.
Use the name you’re known by . Perhaps your name is...

As Om reports over on GigaOM , Evernote’s Android app has moved out of beta and should be available in the Android Market today (or, as James over at jkOnTherun notes , it can be downloaded and installed directly from Evernote ). The Android version joins Evernote apps already available for the iPhone, PalmOS and BlackBerry — your Evernote data is automatically synced between all your devices. ...

After writing “ 6 Tips for Using Google Wave on Your First Project ,” I’ve been learning more about Google Wave as my client and I use it for document collaboration and communication. Since I wrote the initial post, we’ve gotten a better handle on the features that are helping manage our Waves and related communications.
Here are some more tips on using Google Wave:

I’ve been pondering how new users can get up to up to speed on Google Wave since writing “6 Tips for Using Google Wave on your First Project .” Learning Google Wave right now is going to require a “hands on” approach, because the platform’s still at an early stage, leaving its users to chart their own direction and usage scenarios.
While Google Wave breaks away from the traditional web-based co...

Sometimes, it’s not what you know but who you know that counts — and that certainly is the case on social networks these days. One of the best features on Facebook is the way it shows you all of the mutual friends you have in common with someone who wants to connect with you. Unfortunately, this is a missing feature on Twitter, but there are several third-party web apps that can fill the void. Her...

If you’re a Google Voice and Windows user, you might like to check out GVoiceNotifier.NET , an unobtrusive little app that adds Google Voice notifications, one-click calling and SMS functionality to your taskbar, popping up only when you need it. Using the app is simple: Just click on the icon to bring up a list of recent contacts, whom you can then call or SMS.
GVoiceNotifier.NET is a free dow...

Eliminating distraction is a constant concern for the at-home worker. My PS3 is around three feet from my workstation, and the TV is just another foot beyond that. When I want to sit down and do some writing, I’ll try anything to make sure my attention stays focused where it should.
That includes OmmWriter , a new writing application for the Mac. It promises a very unique experience, one that a...

It can be very difficult to get an organization to accept corporate microblogging as a means of facilitating closer collaboration. However, while I am the first to say that changing an organization’s communications model can be a challenge, it’s not impossible.
You and your team might be looking to a corporate microblogging platform to resolve some sort of communications issue. In this post we a...

I’ve long been looking for a Windows-based Twitter client that can delight me as much as its native Mac counterparts. Too many clients for Windows depend on Adobe AIR, something which isn’t an ideal arrangement, in my opinion. TweetDeck and Seesmic are both powerful tools, but why can’t someone make a Windows-native app that works just as well?
Seesmic apparently saw the wisdom in that idea,...
