Writely and Writeboards
Published: Thu Oct 27th, 2005 | Posted By: David Moore
An interesting alternative to the behemoth that Microsoft Word has become, Writely (still in beta) is a web-based word processor that supports collaboration, can read Word docs, and can even output to your blog. Compare with Writeboards, which are less powerful but integrate with the other products from current web darlings 37 signals (several of whose tools were used to create this month’s iCubed).

43 Folders
Published: Thu Oct 27th, 2005 | Posted By: David Moore
Approaches to managing information overload, being more efficient and struggling with ‘constant partial attention’ have become a topical issue, with New York Times articles and something approaching a cult developing around ‘Getting Things Done’ (or ‘GTD’ to devotees), a self-help book by David Allen. 43 Folders offers useful starting points for people just looking for tips and tricks both hi-tech (advice on the Apple uber-launcher Quicksilver) and low-tech (how to make a ‘hipster PDA’ out of index cards and a bulldog clip).
There’s also good information for people trying to embrace the GTD approach. Of course, you could waste a lot of time reading up on ways to hack your fancy Moleskine notebook, so be warned.
