TOP 10 TOOLS 2007

Scott's Top 10 Tools as at 26 July 2007

  1. Shrook.  Shrook is a desktop feed aggregator for the Mac. I love it as its minimal and highly efficient - I can navigate the feeds using the arrow keys rather than tedious point-and-click

  2. iGTD.  This is a "getting things done" application. My life is far too complicated these days for a mere to-do list, and iGTD is really good at getting me organised.

  3. OmniGraffle.  The king of diagram-drawing applications. I'm a very visual person, and OG gives me all the tools I need to get drawing. I also use Illustrator too, but OG gives me the 80% case.

  4. Google.  I can't imagine life without it.

  5. SkypeMy number one communication tool. I use it for all kinds of stuff these days, from video-chat with my family while away on trips, to management conference calls.

  6. Elgg.  Everything you need to build your own, open-source, open-standards Facebook competitor, and getting better all the time.

  7. Explode.  A great service for linking up lots of social networks

  8. Eclipse.  Writing code without it is just painful now.

  9. OpenID.  Not a tool as such, but any online service that insists on users creating Yet Another Account really has no excuse now. None.

  10. Ruby on Rails.   It's made writing web applications fun again.
