Meir's Top 10 Tools as at 19
August 2007
-
Gmail -
This is one of
the places I live in. I love its easiness, the
fact it never goes down, its size, its
continuing stream of new features
-
Google Reader
-
A great way to follow all the blogs I want
to keep updated with what's "the talk" in
the organizational learning arena.
-
Internet Explorer
-
I switched to Firefox maybe 4 times already, but
always found some application or tool that wasn't
compatible with Firefox. For example, in the
university I teach, we use an LCMS called High Learn
(I'll mention
-
Outlook
-
I use it mainly to follow up my many going on
tasks and its calendar. I don't use a PDA and my
calendar is in Outlook. At any given time I have
around 100 tasks I'm following up.
-
HIT
- As
I mentioned before, it's our LCMS in

It was created in Israel, so it's "native"
Hebrew, which makes it better for us than others
that are translated
-
YouTube -
I just love it! I see and hear Brazilian
music, I haven't heard for decades (I was born
in Brazil), I learn new abilities, etc.
-
Word -
I still haven't found any open code
application, which makes me feel at ease as MS
Word. I use it for scribbling before actually
getting my papers written, I use it for tables.
It's reliable.
-
CutePDF Writer
-
I like very much the look and feel of the pdf
format. I wouldn't invest the money to buy it from
Acrobat, but now that I can have it for free, well
bring it on. I work, among others, as a career
counselor and just like to suggest pfd'ing theirs
CV's to my counselees and it works as a charm
-
Google Desktop
-
I believe dogs are cute, but they
don't belong in my computer and I almost came to
hate them, while waiting for it to find files in
my computer...Desktop is so fast, so simple, I
can't really believe how it was to search for
files before it.
-
authorPOINT Lite -
an application that allows transforming PPT into
flash presentations. It's easy to use and my
audiences love
