Activity 11: Online Applications and Tools

Once again, this Web2.0 activity has highlighted how we humans like to 'share'. I'm amazed that there are so many 'free' online productivity tools. (Who spends their time developing these, or who allows their employees to spend time doing so??). The slideshow of tools included zamzar(file converting), picnik(photo editing), doodle(sheduling), and Senduit/YouSendIt(to send and share very large files).
I created a rather boring online document via google docs, and shared it with the helpful crew who run this program (am awaiting a reply). The public library I visit is one of 11 branches administered by the local council. I can imagine that projects requiring branch collaboration would benefit from using google docs; also collaboration between the libraries and the council. Scheduling of meetings/activities would benefit from Doodle.
