My latest on the Computerworld Tool Talk blog:
I'm still old-fashioned in that I still use desktop apps for most of my work, but I've come to rely on a toolkit full if Internet and Web applications for communications and scheduling. Here are some of my favorites.
MobileMe. Apple's much-maligned services for synching e-mail, calendars, and contact lists between multiple Macs and iPhones, as well as sharing documents and photos. The service had growing pains which give it a lingering bad reputation, but I've found it quite reliable for the past couple of years. Many people prefer DropBox for simple document sharing and synchronization between multiple computers running different operating systems.
I also use BackBlaze for online backup. Apple really needs to step up and make MobileMe cross-platform, offer a free introductory package, and offer unlimited online backup to make MobileMe more competitive with BackBlaze and DropBox.
I keep blogs on Typepad and Wordpress, and I like them both.
