Plaxo
Posted by geetarista September 01, 2005
Today I found something that I’ve been looking for since last week. I’ve been juggling ideas on what I should do as far as a personal information manager to keep me organized and productive. I have an old HP Jornada Pocket PC, but it’s just about dead. I’ve wanted to get a new one for a while, but they’re so expensive and I don’t think I would use it that much. I didn’t even use the one I had enough. I think they are a good idea, but just not practical enough. So what I decided to do is keep all of my contacts, tasks, and calendar online with a web-based program called Plaxo. Now it doesn’t matter whether I’m at work, school, a friend’s house, on vacation, I have everything I need with internet access. Now, I know that I won’t always have internet access, but I didn’t always have battery, etc. when I had my pocket pc anyway. So I’m just going to carry around a tiny little booklet to write things down if I don’t have access to the internet. And if I’m driving, I always have my IRiver that I can use to just do a voice recording.
