I just made a note that I need to investigate more options for backing up data. Thanks for mentioning Mozy – I’ll check it out!

That’s kind of like Blogger hosting all of our blogs for free 🙂 Thanks for the tips. I hadn’t heard of Mozy.

Could-not-live without my Google tool bar! It integrates directly into an IE or FF browser's navigation tool bar and contains so many useful features, I couldn't begin to list them. What do I like best? Probably the ability to send a resource straight to my blog, followed immediately by the spelling checker. So sad, isn't it, an editor who needs a spel checker?

I’m with you on Thunderbird. And now I’m interested in Mozy, thanks for sharing!

I use Airset for sharing files and information with clients. It has a calendar function and blog function so you can keep everyone on the team up to date on what is going on and you can upload and download files as well.

I've also started using Evernote. It's extremely valuable if you are working offline because it takes and saves any page that you were working from online. For instance if I am pulling research from a site - all I do is add the page to Evernote and it takes it. If my power goes out I still have my pages saved. No bookmarking required!

I'm going to look into Project Timer because I think it's something I could really use.

Great list! I use SpyBot regularly, and it is an excellent little program. I’m in the midst of downloading Mozy now, and I will probably check out Project Timer too (I keep track of my project time in a spreadsheet, but it’s a bit clumsy).

As for other favorites, I like the browser Mozilla Firefox–like Thunderbird, it’s highly customizable. It is also a lot less vulnerable to internet threats than Internet Explorer.

This list is like a treasure chest of all the things I need. Thanks, Lori! 🙂
