Online Productivity Tools

There are tons of fabulous (and free) online productivity tools available on the web. The hardest part is figuring out which ones are the most effective for your own needs and finding the time explore all the possibilities. I must admit that I am a bit skeptic when it comes to free things on the web. I always worry that the tools won't be accessible when I need them or that I will lose data. However, open source tools are becoming more mainstream. One tool I experimented with was Syncplicity. I viewed a brief video on You Tube and saw a great demonstration on how this tool basically eliminates the need for flash drives and external hard drives, and provides an easy way to collaborate and share files amongst group members. Amazing! Now I have another thing to try with all those minutes I save by using RSS feeds!
