In my coaching practice, I am increasingly looking for ways to work with my clients on shared documents and projects online. Pretty simple right? You’d think so. I went to the first two places that I knew offered some or all of these services: Google & Microsoft. Big disappointment. Continue reading

With new android phones just out and even more on the way, I thought it would be a good time to release another list of neat-o Android apps. My last Android post (part 1 and part 2) focused on apps specifically for increasing your productivity; this post includes all manner of apps. Some will help you be more productive, some will just help you have more fun.(Note… Continue reading

In part 1 of this post, I discussed the communications offerings that Google offers and the role they might play for small- and medium-sized businesses. In this follow-up, I will cover their productivity and promotional services, ranging from the productivity suite Google Docs to the free hosted blogging service Blogger. While Google's communications tools are generally quite excellent, their productivity and promotion tools are much more a mixed bag… Continue reading

As a big fan of online, Web 2.0 applications, I've long followed Google's ever-increasing stable of web-based services, from Google Docs to Google Voice to Google Reader. Their large and growing collection of online applications and services make it increasingly possible to consider running the bulk of your business using free (or low-cost) Google applications. Even big businesses have gotten in to the act, with mega-corporations like GE giving Google's… Continue reading

This post continues the list I started in Part 1, adding apps for managing contacts, collaborating, and accessing computer services from your Android phone (or, in the near future, other device). As before, I’m including links to the developers’ homepage when available, but all of these apps can be downloaded from the Google Market on your Android phone. And all are free (or were when I… Continue reading

With a raft of new devices scheduled to join the lonely T-Mobile G1 in Google’s lineup, the Android operating system looks like it’s not only going to be around for a while but may well give its fellows smartphones from Apple, Blackberry, and Palm a run for their money. With its Linux-derived core and slick user interface, the Android system is proving to be very adaptable – it will even… Continue reading

In my last post, I gave you an introduction to your Google results and forced all of you to Google your name. If you have a common name, you should use your middle name or brand yourself relative to a topic ; if you have a unique name, you are in a position to own your results page quite easily.Many of you will get random results when you… Continue reading

People you know or have never met yet are googl'ing you. Let's face it, you're even google'ing yourself! At the end of 2007, the Pew Internet Research Team found that 47% of people search for information about themselves online (Self-Googling), which was more than double 5 years ago. It's a pretty safe bet that percentage has climbed to over 50 or 60% by this year.Some… Continue reading

Last week, Google announced that it will be ending "active development" for Google Notebook. More than a few people are upset about the decision: Google Notebook's Firefox extension made it a favorite for keeping track of all sorts of notes. With the end of active development, Google Notebook won't be immediately closed down (at least for active users) but its extension will probably quit working with the next major upgrade… Continue reading

Children learn by asking questions. Students learn by asking questions. New recruits learn by asking questions. It is the simplest and most effective way of learning. People who think that they know it all no longer ask questions – why should they? Brilliant thinkers never stop asking questions because they know that this is the best way to gain deeper insights.
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, said… Continue reading

Tonight, Google has released a bunch of new experimental features in Gmail, which you can enable any of them through a "Labs" tab in your setting area. Interesting enough - this is a development effort of Google developers' free 20% time. Initially, there are 13 features available:Most of them could enhance your productivity (except the Old Snakey game). I have enabled three most useful features:

Google Beta Shortcuts is the same Google search, but with some handy Google-Reader-like keyboard shortcuts.Why not use this fantastic feature for all your searches? It's a simple Smart Keyword function for Firefox that you may have already set up. But for those who haven't, try it out and cut out a little bit more of that mouse.

More than just looking pretty, Google Docs & Spreadsheets has gotten an organizational facelift.Now instead of just tagging your documents, you can drag and drop everything into folders. You will also notice anything you've tagged previously, is now in a corresponding folder. The Google team have additionally added a Google Suggest-esque seach to your docs - but I've, personally, never seen much use in this.It's a welcome change to make… Continue reading
