DISQUS

Thanks Dean, I'll check it out.

Krishna,

Backpack is ok, but I've moved over to Remember the Milk, primarily because it can be integrated with gmail on a firefox browser. YMMV, so the best thing to do is try an application for some time before giving up on it.

Jeff,

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

Stan -

I can't imagine anyone who doesn't have a legitimate gripe (or 67) about Outlook. What is impressive is that you've carefully documented all of them. That has to be appreciated. I doubt that MS will listen, but I am grateful everyday that, at least, I don't have to deal with that god awful Lotus Notes in a work setting.

Omar -

Your online application looks really good. I'll have to dig deeper into Comapping when I get a chance. Thanks for stopping by.

Desh,

Yes, real estate seems to be the biggest negative at the moment - both from a purchase and rent view. From the purchase side, it seems that the real estate bubble has reached absurd levels in many metros. On the renting side, rents aren't cheap either.

Keep reading, I plan to post often...

Judie,

Congratulations on your one year anniversary!

Hotel Guy - I think the N800 is a good attempt at moving to true mobile connectivity. The evolution is clearly underway with iPhone. The problem with both, in my opinion, is that they are still early stage solutions and lack the necessary ingredients (a real keyboard for example) to assure mass market success.

Deep,

The N800 ships with a very basic writing application, and nothing else. There are several open source applications that have been ported over to the N800. You can find that list at www.maemo.org.

Whatever it is, the good thing is that there are now several online mind mapping choices available.

Thanks to all that have stopped by. I've still got several more MindMeister invitations, so just leave a comment, and I'll send one over.

Nitin

Josh,

You're right. I'm looking forward to this as well because I hope it signals a push to better CRM-like tools for individuals.

Mindmeister does look very interesting. I just received a private beta login from them, and will post a quick review shortly.

Parama,

It looks interesting. I'll check it out.

I've tried NovaMind in the past, and it is quite good. It is also platform dependent, and my goal is to wean myself off of any particular platform, which makes FreeMind an ideal candidate.

I also think that many people shy away from mindmapping applications because the commercial ones tend to be expensive. FreeMind is, well, free. Not a bad way to dip your feet into the mindmapping waters, if you ask me.

Nik,

Thanks. I'll send the details of my experience to Omnidrive. For the readers here, basically the challenges that I've seen so far with the integration have to do with Firefox 2.0 locking up on occasion, and some Word documents sent to Zoho timeout during the process.

Nitin

Cliff,

EditGrid looks quite nice; I'll have to investigate it further.

heed,

Thanks for the information. I'm always looking for Office 2.0 applications, and will check out Draw.

Hi Skit,

I've moved on from PearBudget, as the biggest challenge we had was giving access to the spreadsheet to both my wife and I. I imported the base Pear spreadsheet into Google Spreadsheets, from which both of us can access the spreadsheet without having to keep an offline version in sync. I'd be interested in seeing an online budget tracker (a secure one) as I'm increasingly moving my key data tools to the cloud.

Sam,

That's a Motion tablet that he's using. I believe the 1600.

Nitin

Steve,

Looks interesting. I'll check it out as well.

Catsher,

I think you can request an invitation for the Gmail for your domain service directly from Google. They aren't issuing these in the same viral marketing method that gmail expanded.
