![]() These are the products I can’t live without. There are several great alternatives to this product, including Yammer. This is how we collaborate and stay connected as a remote team. It’s an online water cooler with casual conversations (along with important information) popping up all day. This is the internal discussion client provided by Salesforce (we’re big Salesforce users). ![]() I use the browser interface on my Mac and the gReader app on my android phone. I moved to Feedly when Google Reader shut down. I use Feedly to keep up with blogs offering an RSS feed. I’m in and out of Byword all day long, and there’s so little to it that I can’t be distracted by the bells and whistles found in the powerful word processors. I can publish these blog posts directly from Byword, and I simply cut and paste when someone requires a Word Document. I use it instead of a heavy-duty word processor like Microsoft Word. It’s a simple, stripped-down text editor for the Mac. ![]() In fact, I use Skype instead of my cell phone when I need to make a call. I also use it talk to clients and others. It’s the primary way I communicate with members of my team. This is how we communicate within our firm using the chat feature as well as the voice/video. It’s open all day, and I glance at it during breaks. I keep up with the news, developments in my area of the law, ideas in law practice management, and gossip via TweetDeck. I share my lists with my support team, and they use it to report the status of projects as we move forward. I add to it instantly as I think of things that need doing. This to-do application remains on my MacBook Air and is where I keep all of my tasks. Bitcasa is cheaper but not as convenient as Dropbox. Between you and me, I also use Bitcasa to store files that exceed the limit of what I pay for on Dropbox. I pay for a large amount of storage and keep it loaded up. This is where I keep the large files as well as files I’m sharing with others. ![]() I’ve had to find an alternative place for really big files, but nearly everything I have lives in Evernote, and I’m in and out of it hourly as I pull information together for various projects. It’s the way I stay connected to my universe of connections. We’ve used it for years with minimal downtime. I also have my calendar and contact list in Google Apps. Chrome is my most used piece of software. I’ve got a bunch of specific extensions running (1Password, 2X Client for RDP, Add to Feedly, Add to Wunderlist, Buffer, Contactually, Dropbox, Google Cast, Google Drive, Gmail Offline, GText from MightyText, Hangouts, Hello Sign, Mailto: for Gmail, Pushbullet, Rapportive, and Send from Gmail). It’s my browser of choice, and I use it all day long. Today, I’ll clue you in on the tools I use that have been around for some time. The relationship continues all morning and then suddenly starts to fade about lunchtime. Sometimes it’s a Chrome extension or a WordPress plugin. Usually, it’s some kind of software, a website, or an app. I read a blog post about something new and have to have it. ![]()
