Take It With You When You Go

I have had too many irons in the fire lately and my blog has suffered. I apologize for not posting anything recently and I hope to get back to updating this blog regularly. In the last post, I discussed taking your bookmarks with you wherever you go by using Del.icio.us. In this post, I would like to tell you about some tools that will allow you to take documents, spreadsheets and presentations with you. There are several great tools on the Internet that allow you to do this. Two of my favorites are Google Docs and Zoho. Google Docs and Spreadsheets allows you to create Word-type documents or Excel-type spreadsheets that you can access from any computer with an Internet connection. Zoho has document and spreadsheet capabilities as well as Zoho Show (a PowerPoint-type presentation program) and Zoho Notebook (a Notepad-type note taking program). Zoho and Goggle Docs are both user friendly and easy to maneuver, especially if you have used any of the Microsoft Office software in the past.

O.K., I am getting away from travel locations for today to tell you about a handy travel tool. If you are like me when you travel, you take everything but the kitchen sink (and you would take that if you could find a clean way to rip it out of the kitchen counter). However, due to space limitations, occasionally something gets left behind (like your laptop). When this happens, you have to use one of the computers at the hotel where you are staying. While using said computer, you bellyache and moan about how you don't have any of your email addresses or bookmarks and you can't find anything on the web. Well my friends, never fear for Del.icio.us is here. Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking tool that lets you keep all of your bookmarks in one place. You can access those bookmarks from any computer that has an internet connection. Enjoy, it's Del.icio.us!
