Thing 17 Productivity Tools

Remember the Milk is great for those who have one of those "new fangled phones", but that's not me. I already use and share my Google calendar; that's how we all know where I am. I frequently have to check myself! LibraryThing requires way too much of a commitment. Knowtes will be great for students, I'll have to share with staff, particularly with the science department that's eating my ink budget with all the power points being printed for study guides. Trailfire looks like a more complicated Delicious. I don't need more complicated.

I tried Bubbl.us and was thrilled.This tool is fabulous. I've been using Inspiration, but there's always the issue of licensing and loading software. Now I have access to mind-mapping anywhere, anytime. Cool! I do have to say it wasn't totally intuitive, so I tried to find directions on Common Craft. I ended up at Tech-bites.com, which was new to me and works just as well. So I learned two new things today. Life is good!
