Web Apps
I’m not sure I’ll use either one of these, but there are a couple of web applications I’ve recently become intrigued with. (Did I just end that sentence with a preposition? Sorry Mrs. Schubert…)
Anyway, CoverItLive.com is a blogging tool that can be used for blogging live events and getting information to your blog as it unfolds. Sure, you can probably get Twitter and Wordpress to (maybe) work together and get similar results, but this looks different. Apparently, this uses Ajax that you embed into your post to give it live, up-to-the minute updates. I’m not sure how I’d use that in my line of work, but it might be interesting for a conference or something. I’ll keep it bookmarked and come back to it when I think I can put it to good use on here.
Another web app that is more geared toward productivity is IWantSandy.com. “Sandy” is a virtual personal assistant that reminds you of important upcoming events and other reminders from your calendar. It looks like there is even an option to have it sent directly to your twitter (via private message) and to your Google calendar. Scott twittered it last week some time, so I’m taking a look at it to see how it can help me.
Any other new and exciting web apps out there I need to know about?
