10 Internet Productivity Boosters
Every person who uses the internet practically for more than 2 hours is always on the lookout for making tasks easier and faster. Web 2.0, which is revolutionizing the way people work and collaborate on the internet through PM 2.0 is also being adopted by more and more individuals and businesses as well. Just because we don’t want to sound too professional, we will be enlisting 10 websites that can actually make e-life much easier.
- Yotify: Finding something on the internet can be no less difficult than finding a pin in the hay. This is where Yotify.com comes to the rescue. This is no ordinary search engine, although still something like Google Alerts and Yahoo Alerts. Yotify offers a unique service where you can search what you are looking for according to your budget. Say you are looking for a couch within a specific budget. Yotify will search according to your location and keep sending you e-mails just as they find the right deal, in case your deal is not available at the moment. This is where it differs from the already successful biggies. Trust us, it is more of a life saver than time saver.

- Swirrl: This is a brilliant web application for businesses worldwide. Your team can share, edit, store and analyze information. It lets you keep track of your information and analyze the searched information effectively and efficiently. The best part is that you can access it from anywhere in the world since you just need a computer and the internet. Very useful for any teams in general.

- Clutterme: This may sound like it’s for geeks but it really is more. Clutterme allows you to create your personal webpages within seconds and it is not even required for you to have any knowledge about programming languages or HTML and the likes. It can be great specially for people who don’t want to spend ridiculous amounts on buying a domain name for creating webpages for personal use. This can be great for creating resumes and portfolios.

- mail2web: This is a great online application that allows you to access any number of e-mail accounts including biggies like Hotmail, Google or even your e-mail address from your own domain from a single login. It does not even require registration although registered users do get additional features. This one can help you save a great deal of time on the internet.

- Kaltura: The idea behind the website is to provide a platform for online video collaboration. People can create customized webpages for their video content and can easily embed anywhere in the world. It lets you add effects, music etc. to your music videos, documentaries, travelogues etc.

- Flickrin: This is one of the most known sites when it comes to talking about photography. It lets you add a badge to your blog or website containing multiple Flickr photos. You can search by tags or username as per your convenience. Choose from thousands of photographs and share it with people who appreciate photography. This is how pictures can bring people closer. Just click and embed.

- PlanningWiz: So you’re sitting home while the New Year is arriving and you decide you want to experiment with the look of your room. What do you do? Log onto this wonderful website which lets you sketch a room plan, edit and draw floor plans, customize them with furniture and various objects. You can make a design as you like. Save it and even print it if you love it enough to actually do a turnover.

- BudgetTracker: This is a great online tool for keeping your personal finances up to date. You can customize this tool for managing your own your budget, bills and transaction from a single place. Use bill reminders, track upcoming bills etc. just like Microsoft Money. Handy for managing all sorts of finances.

- Basecamp: An online collaboration tool for businesses which want minimum investments in training and money. Although it does lack a few features like app. Sharing and whiteboards, but it proves to be great tool anyways. This is available in different packages at different prices on a monthly basis and can be an excellent tool for people wanting to cut down their costs on training. If its project management online, this is site for you.

- Tabup: Last but not the least is Tabup. This is an online day planner where reminders and other activities are organized into tabs. You can also share tabs so that you can interact easily with a large no. of workmates or friends. Option to keep tabs private is also available. The tool is very new and can really help you plan your schedule.

Hope these sites will help you make your web life a little easier. If you got a couple that you would like to share with us, drop us a line in the comments section.

Ah yes, mail2web…
That brings back my consulting days when I could never be at the office to check my mail. So when at a client’s I could check my work e-mail before the introduction of webmail at my office.
Me starting using mail2web coincided with me getting my first avalanche of spam.
Now ain’t that a coincidence?
