Useful (Free) Online Organizer Tools


Belakangan ini saya sering menggunakan beberapa Online Tools (gratis, tentunya!). Beberapa di antaranya yang saya rekomendasikan adalah :

(1) iGoogle.com - Google Personalized Homepage
Saya menggunakan ini untuk updating feed. Simple interface. Gadgets yang dapat di-install ke iGoogle juga lumayan untuk mengorganisir hal-hal yang dibutuhkan, dari to-do-list sampai notes, semua ada (walaupun tidak semuanya berguna).
"iGoogle (formerly Google Personalized Homepage and Google IG), a service of Google, is a customizable AJAX-based startpage or personal web portal much like Netvibes, Alot.com Pageflakes, My Yahoo!, MySurfPad and Windows Live Personalized Experience. It was originally launched in May 2005. Its features include the capability to add web feeds and Google Gadgets (similar to those available on Google Desktop)." - Wikipedia, 2009
(2) Todoist.com - Best Todo List and Task Manager
Saya menggunakan tools ini untuk mengingatkan to-do list saya. Simple and clean interface (i love simplicity!) but still powerful.
"Todoist is the best way to stay organized. Todoist is a task manager that's useful, fast and easy to use. We currently manage millions of todos for thousands of people." - todoist.com
(3) Getdropbox.com - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy
Layanan file sharing berbasis web, berguna bagi yang sering mengirim file berukuran besar kepada pihak lain. Dropbox mengharuskan kita untuk menginstall softwarenya di desktop dulu sebelum dapat digunakan. Namun penggunaannya amat mudah, cuma drag & drop, seperti folder biasa. Free account-nya berkapasitas 2GB, dan dapat bertambah hingga 5GB apabila ikut program referral. Mari ikut Dropbox dan kita sama-sama mendapat tambahan 250MB. :)
"Dropbox is a technology startup and software product that's revolutionizing the way people think about and access their files. In particular, we make it easy to securely share files with other people, sync them across multiple computers, access them from anywhere, and keep them safe." - getdropbox.com
Pertamanya sih memang berkesan agak ribet, tapi setelah terbiasa justru lebih mudah digunakan dibanding yousendit.com (layanan file sharing online lainnya yang juga menawarkan layanan gratis berkapasitas 100MB).

Oia, ini berguna juga kalau kita sering kelupaan bawa USB, hehehe... Tinggal upload, trus langsung bisa diakses di rumah (asal masih ada koneksi internet). Yippy!

(4) Tripit.com - Online travel itinerary and trip planning
Ini baru coba-coba aja, dan belum saya kulik-kulik lebih lanjut. Sejauh ini sih memang belum terlalu berguna buat saya, tapi siapa tahu dapat berguna buat Anda yang sering bepergian.
"With today's myriad of travel sites, even the most experienced traveler has their hands full managing all the details of a typical trip. Booking airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and restaurants leaves you with lots of separate pieces of paper. Throw in maps, directions, things to do, and weather and the chaos multiplies.TripIt turns chaos into order by making it easy for anyone to:
  • Organize trip details into one master online itinerary -- even if arrangements are booked at multiple travel sites
  • Automatically include maps, directions and weather in their master itinerary
  • Have the option to book restaurants, theatre tickets, activities and more right from within the online itinerary
  • Safely access travel plans online, share them, check-in for flights, or print an itinerary" - tripit.com
(5) Delicious.com - Social bookmarking
Nahh yang ini pasti semua sudah pada tahu kan... Saya sendiri telat menggunakan ini, hehehe... Awalnya sih gara-gara saat saya di kantor, saya sering mem-bookmark website-website yang menarik buat saya (Hahaha! Maap Bos!). Tapi apabila saya ingin membacanya lagi di rumah kan berarti saya harus meng-import bookmarks yang ada di komputer kantor ke komputer saya yang di rumah. Awalnya sih fine-fine saja, tapi begitu bookmark sudah mulai banyak, repot juga mengaturnya. Akhirnya saya beralih ke delicious.com, web-based bookmarking tool, lebih praktis!
"Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet." - delicious.com

Yup yup, sementara segitu dulu. Hope helps! Ohoho...
