Wilfred's Top 10 Tools as at 12
August 2008
The same as January's list except:
Twitter -
points out to me new resources used by other experts
del.icio.us
-
Great tool to
save and share interesting websites and blog posts. I
use it to
collect sources
for
presentations,
papers, articles
and -of course-
blog posts.
TypePad
-
I use this blog tool for some
years now.
Userfriendly and reliable.
Helps me reflecting on developments.
Firefox
-
My gateway to the world wide web. Helps me
responding to different blog posts
en comments
FeedReader -
I used to use
Bloglines as a feed reader. But I prefer Feedreader for some
time now. Easy to
use. I can read blog
posts offline (e.g.
in trains).
One disadvantage:
you cannot share
your feeds with
others.
Google Search
-
I use it to search my weblog (personal learning
archive) and –of course- the Internet.
PowerPoint
-
At my work I don't have OpenOffice. I guess this is the main reason why
I do hardly use OpenOffice for presentations
etc. Powerpoint is easy to use. I also use it
for re-structuring thoughts. So when I want to
write a paper.
Notepad
-
I use it a lot to write blog
posts offline (including old-fashioned
html-coding).
