Online Applications & Tools

I can use these tools. Since I travel to different branches, my docs can travel with me. I don't have to attach them to an email. I can create and edit on the run.

My family and I can use these tools. One idea came from the "Read user examples," the person's family bought season baseball tickets. Instead of having to email back and forth about who could use the tickets on what day, they created a document which could be shared in real time. We could use this tool for planning family parties.

The more I think about the "share" feature, I can use that in many ways. Now, I just have to enlighten my friends about how to "share."

Search Engines

I tried two different searches in Rollyo, Mamma and Dogpile: "Helga Estby" and "Prune apple tree." For "Helga Estby," Rollyo and Dogpile results were very similar and a lot like Google with many duplicate sites. Mamma returned fewer results with the first few pages having more .edu and .org sites. Searching "Prune apple tree," again, Rollyo and Dogpile returned thousands of sites. Mamma and Dogpile had links to local (Seattle-Everett area) sites, which is good for gardening questions.

I prefer Mamma over the others because it returned fewer sites, under 100 as opposed to 1000s, and the web pages it returned were relevant to my search.
