remote/mulitple computer or “cloud” computing links
June 27, 2008
Evernote
Local application and web interface for note taking. Web app allows synching of different computers or can be used between a computer and mobile device (iPhone or WM, or really anything with a browser)
Remember the Milk
This is more task based and has much more interaction with mobile devices like Blackberry and has Twitter and Gmail tie ins.
Fox Marks
Allows you to synch all your various computers to have the same bookmarks in firefox
Dot Mac
allows mac users to synch up multiple machines for contacts, calendars, Mail, computer settings, remote backup of up to 10GB of data and lots more. Only available to Mac users though
Box dot net
They allow remote storage and collaboration. I used to have an account but haven’t used it in a while. Now they have some newer functions so I am much more interested to give it a try.
I also use my company’s webmail when I can but I will also just make sure to leave all my messages on the server so I can (if I want to) run a local mail client but then be able to download messages to all of my machines locally.
Whether you have mulitple computers or you just want to enable yourself to use the cloud more often for your nomadic life you now have choices.
