Living in the Clouds – Twitter
Image by via CrunchBase In this week’s edition of Living in the Clouds Series, I am going to talk about Twitter. Some people might argue that Twitter is a Web 2.0 app and not a cloud app, etc.. Well, I am not disputing their arguments. We can go either way on whether we should push […]

Living in the Clouds – Diigo

Living in the Clouds – Evernote
In my previous post in the Living in the Clouds series, I wrote about Google Notebook, a note taking application from Google. I use Google Notebook exclusively for my research on the web.

Living in the Clouds – Remember The Milk
This is the third app in my Living in the Clouds series. After Gmail and Google Calendar, it is time to shift the focus towards a To-Do List manager. Whether you are an ardent follower of David Allen’s GTD or, like me, you have your own system of getting things done, Remember The Milk (RTM) […]
Living in the Clouds – Google Calendar

Living in the Clouds – Gmail
Image via CrunchBase This is the first app I will be discussing in the series titled “Living in the Clouds”. What better way to start this series than starting off with Gmail. Yes, there was email much before Gmail. I am not denying that. However, Gmail changed the way we use email as a part of our […]
