I just don’t get this whole “Web App” thing. I just don’t see who they’re aimed at and why anyone would really want to use them.

I run Outlook and use it in conjunction with an Exchange server. I’ve got *way* more functionality than any online calendar can provide me with. I can access the Exchange server over the web to get my email, contacts, diary, notes etc anywhere.

Any sensible company with the need for employees to access applications remotely will run citrix or a windows terminal server, giving them *secure* access to the company’s applications, rather than relying on an unreliable, potentially unsecure and way underpowered web app.

I’ve looked at Writely, 30boxes, iCalc, Basecamp etc etc and I just don’t get it.

I’m a happy BackPack user, one more than one project. But I’m not sure I’d want ALL my ‘information’ in the one place anyway.

Outlook does a good job for me as it syncs with my mobile, have switched to Thunderbird at home though… which is proving troublesome.

Anyway, I posted about my ‘getting organised’ efforts last month and I sure as hell don’t want to go back through that!

Now that you come to mention it, I’ve some links somewhere for useful WordPress listy type plugins that I must have a look at. But I’m hoping that AirSet will be the *one* place to put everything regardless of which machine I’m at (well, providing there’s internet access).

I know what you mean about Yahoo. I groaned when I heard that they’d bought del.icio.us (and there was quite a bit of down time immediately following the takeover) but it seems to have settled down now so I’m staying with it for the time being.

And thank you, that’s one gorgeous dog, eh?

I use MS Outlook for a calendar and contacts, and just synch it with my mobile phone. For lists I use a plugin for WordPress, and I keep notes in the “Quicknote” extension for Firefox. I used to keep these things altogether when I used my Yahoo account, but then my work blocked Yahoo access so it wasn’t much to you during the day. I think Yahoo pretty much takes care of all these requirements you have though, doesn’t it..? (Ugly interface though.) It has bookmarks, notes, calendar, contacts – pretty much everything. However, there’s still something I don’t quite like about Yahoo, can’t put my finger on it …
