Paul's Top 10 Tools as at 9 July 2007
-
Flock.
Easily integrates
into all my other
web based services
helping me to
capture information,
store and and recall
so well. Can't be
beat.
-
Emerald InTouch/Elgg. A safe
secure, space I can use to store thoughts, express
opinions publicly and privately, read my RSS and
make connections to other people based on shared
interests and likes, create and participate on other
communities.
-
Captivate:
Great for showing people what you're talking about and
leaving it with them as training/support materials.
-
Authorware:
s this still available? I worked with Authorware
from version 2.0 (don't
do much materials
creation these days) and
I thought it unbeatable
for creating engaging,
interactive and
genuinely useful
learning materials.
-
Skype:
for conferencing, capturing conversations and
interviews, point, click and talk
-
Microsoft Windows Messenger:
I love how discrete this can be. As a means of staying
in touch with friends, colleagues, technical authorities
and peers in an informal but immediate way there's
nothing better.
-
Odiogo: Now my blogs, and
indeed other's blog posts that I capture and store
are automatically converted to MP3 for me. For very
short snippets of audio for when I'm mobile this is
a great service.
-
Google Earth:
For directions, for scouting a new place ahead of time,
for work, for fun. Google earth is simply indispensable
-
del.icio.us:
When combined with the Flock browser, this is
great for storing pages stumbled upon and for seeing
what others are tagging along the lines I'm interested
in.
-
CiteULike: CiteULike is a free
service to help academics to share, store, and
organise the academic papers they are reading. Very
much like delicious but automagically extracts the
citation data embedded in a paper. Very handy
