I've used Avvenu and Orb too, as well as LogMeIn (and another Canadian one called I'm In Touch, which I highly recommend). And I've tried out Box.net as well as another online storage app called Mozy, and one called Carbonite -- still evaluating them though. ThinkFree is quite good -- I wrote about them for my day job at globeandmail.com/technology. Mathew Thanks for the comment, Rick.

Simply having everything online is a great boon to my personal life productivity. I've got my contacts, email, blog, projects, documents, and access to pictures online. In addition, via services like Orb, Avvenu, and LogMeIn, I've got access to everything on my personal network as well. When storage services like Googles "GDrive" or Microsoft's "LiveDrive" come online, it will change things even more radically. Kool-Aid, dogfood, sure I'll have a serving! There is room for improvement, but that is where many services are using the Scrum development methodology, and their products and services are improving as a result. Also, check out Box.net, ThinkFree and ZoHo. More good stuff. Well, I’ve been using a lot of these sites as well, and am addicted to what the new metaphor brings to usability.

Out west it's called "drinking your own whiskey" if you're being nice, and "drinking your own bathwater" if you're not. Interesting fact: According to the Kool-Aid company, cult leader Jim Jones didn't give his followers poisoned Kool-Aid in the jungles of Guyana -- he gave them a cheap knock-off called Flavor-Aid Mathew Kool-Aid, dog food — call it whatever you want, Gary.

Drinking the Web 2.0 Kool-aid is what you guys do in your blogs. :-) I’m pretty sure that would be “eating the Web 2.0 dog food.” Drinking the Web 2.0 Kool-aid is what you guys do in your blogs. :-)

Our idea has been to seed that content to get the tags going, but ultimately to get everyone involved in the tagging, to help build a set of resources that we can all use. Well, we’re finally there - the mesh wiki has a new section listing the tags - one global tag for folks who want one feed to rule them all, and tags for the individual sessions. Details at the wiki.
