Nice roundup; struggling to resist an investment in one myself… can’t believe I’ve held off this long

Comment on Productive Action Recording : OneNote and Lotus Notes by DWY

I use oneNote religiously for all my meetings, however, I have a bit different structure than you have. I typically have two NoteBooks, one for “company” and one for “Projects”, inside each NB I have a variety of tabs, tab groups, etc. to organize things. I also created my own meeting template which helps a lot getting things moving for a meeting.

In the right hand tab naming, I use the following:

mm/dd/yy

this allows me to find stuff based on date, month, year or topic via search or at a glance.

When the year rolls over, I move the stuff into an Archive notebook by year (one new NB named for the year and condense both Company and Projects into this NB) and rinse, repeat for the next year.

i’d recommend just screen sharing and using the slides in development mode (maximised view) rather than presentation mode and then type onto the slides

Hi Stu,

Have you ever found a tool that synchronizes the OneNote tasks into Lotus Notes to-do? Would really love that capability as well.

Do you know of any way to actually type on the slides while presenting in say GoToWebinar?

Comment on Strategy as a motivator by Graham Chastney

“Socialising” is a difficult thing to do, mainly because it involves another difficult thing “communication”. One of the challenges we all have is how we engage with people in a way that gets them interested, interactivity is certainly part of it, but it’s not the whole story, some people are actually put off by it.

Computers agree between themselves a communication protocol and then use it, people are different. Sometimes people want to communicate in one way, sometimes in a completely different way.

That’s the fun of it.

Thanks Steve, I agree with you. It will be interesting to see how this matures. I love the concept of productivity and tools to improve efficiency. It will be exciting to see relevance increase and time to reach data decrease. Just look at the initial wolfram alpha as an example. Good times!

In the future, you’ll never be off-line and so on-line / off-line. The distinction will cease to exist. On the second point, the semantic web will help to make information more relevant.
