Back It On Up
Situation: You need an easy personal backup solution... Our lead article today by Michael Wood, SafeGuarding Offline Data , made me think about a service that I tried out a few weeks ago, called Carbonite. For those of us who have no network or portable back up solutions that work well, this is worth a try. If you'd like to read a review of Carbonite - Michael Arrington does a pretty complete one. For some interesting thoughts on the future of online data storage, Jeremiah Owyang's blog is worth a look. |

Memory Maker
| Situation: Your Team Needs To Quickly Master a New Organizational Language... Let's say your organization or project involves alot of acronyms - Or maybe there are just a few key themes that you want everyone to remember. The Crossword Compiler gives you a quick way to help people remember those forgettable terms. The idea is that you give it a list of words and it generates a complete crossword puzzle. You don't lift a finger after providing the words, but it looks like someone put a lot of effort into the exercise. |

| Situation: You need a quick and free team building exercise... Here's a quick online teambuilder/icebreaker. Have everyone take five minutes before the big meeting to go online and figure out Which Superhero they are. This went around our office a month ago. It was great fun and generated a lot of conversation about how "right" the answers were. It's a no cost way to help people get to know one another a little better. Here's mine... Your results: You are Green Lantern

I had heard about this app from a couple of friends who gave it rave reviews. It's also highly rated on CNET by editors, but EVEN MORE HIGHLY RATED by users. |

Situation: You need to send someone a large file ... This morning I ran into an age-old problem. I had to send a 8 MB PowerPoint file to a business partner. Knowing that no email system was going to accept my bulky attachment, I needed a quick (like right now) solution for sending it over.Send this file cost me about three bucks and took care of the problem in about 3 minutes. If you absolutely positively need to get it there in a few minutes - I would highly recommend this service. (It's also free if you have no security concerns - which wasnt the case with me.) |
