Quite some time ago Gemma put together a post that highlighted some of the great OSX apps we use. In a continuation from that post I wanted to write about some of the web applications we use, what we like about them and how they help us run our business.
Google Apps
- By: Google
- Cost: Free
Google Apps needs little introduction these days. We make full use of Gmail, Google Docs and the Google Calendars on a daily basis. The great thing about the apps is the collaboration; sharing not only between ourselves but with our clients too. If you want to know more about getting started with Google docs then I suggest watching some videos on the subject. We have also transferred some of our clients over to the platform as well.
Remember the Milk
- By: Remember the Milk
- Cost: Free or a pro account for $25 a year
Remember the Milk is one of the newest apps in the toggle tool kit. After deciding to leave Basecamp we needed a robust to-do application and found Remember the Milk. The great thing about it is the fact you can add to-do items from a whole range of devices and services; our favourites being Gmail, Email and via the iPhone application Todo <- iTunes link.
Pixie
- By: Toggle
- Cost: Free
Shameless plug alert! - We use Pixie every day (I am writing this post in Pixie). It allows us to easily manage the content for the sites we make, and our clients can join in too. For those of you who have not tried Pixie, it is our open source CMS. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Delicious
- By: Yahoo!
- Cost: Free
Tired of never having your web bookmarks with you? Try posting all your favourite sites to Delicious. We have been using Delicious for quite some time now, its one of those services that quietly gets on with its job and works flawlessly. The tagging is great and the recent re-design has made it even more of a pleasure to use.
I think that just about covers the really important applications we use, other honourable mentions go to Flickr, FeedBurner and Google Analytics.
