More on Thing 13

Calendars:
There is a link to the Web's Best Calendars in Wired magazine (2/20/07). The link to Kiko doesn't work. It appears that Kiko was bought by TuCows (based on further searching), perhaps for that company's internal use?

Scrybe looks quite interesting with its calendar drag and drop features and types of integration and context and multiple time zone tracking and use as a personal organizer. However, it is no longer accepting beta users.

Backpack looks interesting too, though in a way it seems to be a personal type of wiki to me.

The PDF converter looks very cool.

The file type converter from Zamzar also looks useful, but it only has 128 bit SSL (secure converstion) with the non-free account options. Something to keep in mind in a pinch, however! Don't like all the ads on Zamzar though.

Regarding personal pages. Yes, I think I do want to have one...PageFlakes looks especially interesting since it doesn't have the amount of ads of Yahoo and I don't think that Yahoo keeps your info all that secure??? Will look at them some more before deciding!

BTW: the countdown widget on the 23 Things blog is not visible to me either.

Other apps: Mozy back up is something I am going to look into.
The 2007 guide to free software and webapps is also something to keep in mind.

overload! overload! thing 13

My brain is on overload! I am looking at all these tools in thing 13; online productivity tools and feel that I will never be productive if I get involved in figuring out the value or not of these tools!!!

So far, what I have found useful is the Top Ten Sites to Boost Your Online Productivity article, which had a link to the tiny url maker, which I just used to make the link. I always wondered how to do that!

And I bookmarked some sites using Deli (I can't get the dots right in the spelling consistently either) which is a first and I can see its use.

I can also see that having one page to go to all these places would be very very useful. It is too overloading right now to figure out which one and their advantages.

I admit, I haven't looked at all the tools in this thing yet. This thing is too big!!!
