Tools For Mobile Technologists

1. Explore http://sosius.com/, a British tool for online data storage and collaboration; http://box.net is a cloud storage company in the US.¹


2. Consider http://www.k7.net/--K7 Unified Messaging provides a personal phone number that serves as your voicemail box and fax number.¹


3. Try http://docs.google.com, a cloud tool that has proven invaluable when trying to convert Open Office to Word, and has sometimes been successful in opening corrupt Word documents that Word2007 could not open. I have also used Google sites http://sites.google.com for simple web pages. Erik Arnold notes that elements of Google Apps such as calendars and documents are easily merged into the created sites pages, something I have not explored.²


4. Look at http://basecamphq.com/--BaseCamp offers single-project management software for free--multiple project management requires a fee. Freshbooks www.freshbooks.com, a cloud-based billing and hours program, has a similar pricing structure.²

_{Today I discarded a heap of literature from the 2009 annual conference of the American Library Association. In the June 2009 issue of Searcher magazine, "Free Tools For Job Seekers" by Irene McDermott¹ and "Tools of the Trade" by Erik Arnold² provided these nifty web sites I just had to pass along.}
