CPL 2.0: Online Productivity Tools

Google Calendar!

Okay I've had a google account for a long time. I've seen that calendar tab but have never really been interested enough to see how useful it could be. A colleague recently did a brief session on Google Calendar and I'm definitely going to look into whether or not I could use it to help keep track of my life.

The same colleague also covered Google Docs, which I've used frequently but only for Word type files. Spreadsheets and presentations? Interesting. I'll see if I can use those in the future.

I think that many people will turn to using "free" online productivity tools as opposed to purchased programs like Microsoft Office. This should mean that the software makers will improve their products so that they have more options and are more user-friendly than the online programs.
