Thing 14 – Online Productivity Tools

I don’t use a lot… well any online productivity tools really. At work I have MS Office. Even though this is a dreaded Microsoft product, it provides me with a calendar, task list, email client, scheduler, etc. The down side to this is that I can’t use it at home, but that is okay as I don’t take work home on principle. Well that and I am an hourly wage employee ;-) I don’t really use or need tools like this for my home life.

I do think the online tools are nifty for personal use if you don’t already have software installed on your laptop to do these tasks. Also I can see the use if you travel frequently, don’t have a lap top and rely on accessing the internet via public or friend’s computers. I do use My Yahoo. I like being able to customize Yahoo to my preferences and appearance to my specific interests.
