More Natural Than a Blackberry?

Situation: You Need a Little More Attention on the Train Ride in... Everyone types "emlz frm thr fon" these days, but they tend to be short, rushed, and sometimes send the wrong message as a result. PLUS, typing with your blackberry thumb isnt nearly as cool as pulling out a Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard and typing on that. ---Just something to consider if you're at the "very first adopter" end of things. |

Are You Ready For Your Close-up?
Situation: You Need Free Videoconferencing for 5 People or Less... Wengomeeting could be a fun way to hold a virtual meeting of your team. We tried it once here and I have to admit we had issues - but those were probably more driven by connection and bandwidth problems than anything else. In any case, if you alread have webcams, but no cheap way to try them out, this might be for you. |

4 or More is a Crowd When Presenting Online...
Situation: You Need Free WEBEX Functionality for 3 People or Less... Software As a Service offerings are getting more and more robust every week and the marketing tactics people use to get the word out are getting more aggressive as well. Elluminate's vroom is a great way to hold an online meeting if you:- have no budget for online conferencing - need quick setup - are dealing with very small groups (less than 3) Kolabora has a pretty thorough online review of the software that you might want to check out before you download, but the software is pretty simple and intuitive. Given the price, you might just want to have at it. |

Share Your Plans...
Situation: You Need to Share an MS Project Plan Without Buying More Licenses... Not everyone needs a full blown project management tool. For those stakeholders and temporary team members who just need to see how things are going or stay in sync with you for now - a project plan viewer works fine. Microsoft used to offer one, but discontinued it. Right now, the most popular one out there is Seavus Project Viewer . |

Low (actually no) Budget Visio
Situation: You Need to Draw a Flow Chart or an Org Chart, Alone or With Friends... Gliffy is awesome. I've got to say, you can do 90% of what most people would ever want to do with this free charting tool. Unless you need special templates or graphics, I'd take a look at this before paying an arm and a leg for more conventional desktop software. Its a really intuitive and allows you to work collaboratively with others (on the web, maintaining versions like any standard wiki). You can also export diagrams as .jpgs and drop them into .ppt presentations. |
