Google Docs -- Now with PDF!

Posted on July 15, 2008
If you're using Google Docs to create and share documents, you'll be happy to know that it now supports uploads of PDF files. While you can't edit the PDFs, you can share, view and cut/paste from them. This is nothing special, really -- there are lots of sites that allow upload and review of PDF files (the new Acrobat.com, for instance). It's just nice that Google Docs is offering this feature, too.

Screen captures is a Picnik after all

Posted on July 14, 2008
When I capture images from the internet for use in presentations, I typically use SnagIt -- it's easily the best and most powerful screen capture tool around. If you're not willing to spend the bucks for SnagIt and you happen to use the Firefox browser, here's an easy way to make your own screenshots, and for free, using the Picknik Browser Extension. I've mentioned Picnik before as a great free alternative to edit your photos, and now you can do the same with web captures. Once the extension is installed in Firefox, just select the image (or even the whole web page) you want to capture, and send it to Picnik. Once there, you can take advantages of all of Picnik's nifty editing tools to trick out your image. Then you can save the picture to your computer...

YouSendIt Gets More Useful

Posted on July 08, 2008
In talking about collaboration and the transfer of large files, I usually mention YouSendIt as my single-file transfer site of choice. (I now prefer drop.io for giving others access to multiple files). Now they've gone and made it even easier to use, through various plugins that are being developed. Currently they have an Outlook plugin, that, when installed on your computer, keeps watch for emails that attached files bigger than a certain size (you can set the size). When that happens, YouSendIt automatically transfers the file, rather than your email server. They're also planning plugins for Thunderbird as well as browser plugins that allow you to use it with web-based email like Yahoo. This makes it so much easier to send large files, removing the necessity of having to visit the actual website to sign in and send the file manually...

Getting your team on the same iPage

Posted on July 07, 2008
I use Word 2007 at home, but many people I work with don't have it yet on their computers. I could convert it to Word 2003, but why bother? One of my new favorite document viewing sites, Scribd, now makes it easy to share documents without worrying about whether everyone on your team has the same software. With iPaper@scribd.com, which Scribd rolled out about a month ago, it's just a matter of adding an extra recipient to your email. Here's how it works. Take your document and attach it to an email. Address it to the members of your team, and CC ipaper@scribd.com on the message. Scribd will take your document, convert it to iPaper, and send your collaborators a copy of the link to the online document. And if you haven't viewed a document in Scribd yet, you're missing out...
