Evernote is a system that allows you to save ideas from multiple sources and collaborate it into a notebook that can be accessed from anywhere you can log on to a computer and an online source. I set up two notebooks; one for recipes, and one for Innovative management. Eventually I will set a notebook for travel sites that I would like to visit, and one for pictures, one for job searches with networking connections from those sites. Evernote is beneficial to anyone that needs information on anything of interest without carrying the load of paperwork. It allows you to save sites and pictures to use for research or for permanent use. My recipe notebook is created using recipes that were my grandmother's. They were handwritten on paper and I didn't want to loose them, this way I can save them forever. There is also going to be newspaper clippings that came from newspapers from the mid to late 1900s that she had clipped as tidbits of info and little jokes. It is not so much the recipes though I will use some of them, but this is family history. Food that she prepared any time the family was all together, and as she has passed now, it is important to me to stay connected to who she was. I will add notebooks as I go through other classes for my MBA. Each notebook will have tabs pertaining to sites researched and assignments.
Google Wave is another collaboration system that allows you to interact with a group on projects. My group is consisted of four individuals from my Innovative Management class-Bryan Baker is an employee for Mars Pet Care, Bryan Kalhor is a civilian employee for Tinker Air Force Base, and Jennifer Pettijohn is an employee for an accounting firm. We each have our own Google Wave account but we are using lbkalhor@gmail for our group project. Our group project is based upon wikis and how they are useful. We chose PBWorks as the most useful. I will delve deeper into this subject in the next blog for Lab 4. I will also list a tab in my Evernote for this project with all of the interaction within the group.
Really Simple Sydication (RSS) also call a web feed which includes full or summarized text, is from your favorite sites such as news from CNN, the NY Times, listing articles that include the publishing dates and author name. Also included on a RSS are blog entries, audio, and video—in a standardized format.
"Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content." Readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place use RSS feeds which can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator". RSS can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based, using a standardized XML file format that allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI or by clicking an RSS icon in a web browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. The RSS feed are based from many different readers some of which are Google, Outlook, Newzcrawler, and Netvibe Account. Some charge a fee and some are free. I chose Newzcrawler which was free and also user friendly.
