Our first colleague contributions! Woo hoo! Scroll around and discover what's here!
Everyone has her or his favorite set of software programs to make an information-filled life easier and more fun.
Obviously your computer (Mac or PC), your phone, your organization’s preferences and support (if you are lucky), and the tasks you do most often drive the software you choose. I’ve discovered, however, that both ‘who you know’ and serendipity determine a lot of the rest of the choices. Here are mine, ymmv.
Please add in the comments any tools or sites that you use that make your digital life easier and more fun. (Me, I’d like a recommendation for a good and easy password manager…)
Keep in mind that the goal is not to see who’s list is longer, but to make sure your list meets your needs.
