8/26 - Websites that get you organized

Allison & Sara favorite: Facebook.com - keep track of all your friends without having to pick up the phone or send an email. They let you know what's up with them every time they sign on.

Ann Damani, Conceivable Solutions favorites:
Log Me In - allows you to log into another computer to do work, check something, even send email.
Plaxo - a self-maintaining contact database and now networking site.
Refdesk - Info info info. Links to most places you would need to go.
Snopes - Don't waste your time wondering if an urban legend is true. Check it out here.
Cardscan.com / Cardscan.net - These work with your card scanner and allow you to update the contact information.

Allison Favorites:
Igoogle.com - ((See Photo of Allison's igoogle page)) Can be customized so you can have quick links to the sites you want to see at a glance. From the google home page, click on the link on the right, at top, that says igoogle. You will need a google account to use this.
Google Docs for creating and collaborating on documents. They live in a cloud so you can view them from anywhere. Log into google then click on the MORE link at the top to get to documents in the drop down menu.

Brandie Kajino, The Home Office Organizer favorites
Delicious.com - Mobile Bookmarking. Allows you to bookmark your favorite sites and pages so you can return to them. But the bookmark is online so you can see it from any location, not just from your own browser.

Google Reader - allows you to get RSS (real simple syndication) delivery to see many of your favorite sites. Blogs come with this and now many newsletters and websites are adding this feature so you get the latest all in one place and it doesn't jam up your email in-box.
Go to google and click on the reader link to get started.

Grand Central - It looks like it is in beta testing and isn't taking new customers for a while. But it works with your phones to determine which ring and where and a lot lot more.

Earth 911 - links to recycling locations near you.

There were so many more to talk about, we'll tell you about them soon!

Thanks for having me on! I have a couple more we never got to:

DimDim.com
It's a peer-to-peer conferencing tool. Ever tried to explain how to do something on the computer to someone over the phone? Yeah, not fun. DimDim allows you to connect to each other and view their/your desktop or a presentation. Oh, and it's free to start with, AND open source. Nice!

Flickr.com
Photo sharing, filing and all around cool place to find pictures! Some even are ok to use on your blog (read licenses carefully)
