OM Needs You!

We are up to our eye balls in RSS feeds this month at Organized Manager. There is so much good stuff out there; and we are SO worried we'll miss something. Hence the reason for the beautiful poll to the right. Please take a moment and vote. I will publish the results soon.

So, are you buried in mass blog articles as well? (And yes, this is a blog article, ha!)

By the way, I made this poll free at Micropoll.

Dropbox Rocks!



Dropbox
is an online storage system that offers its users 2GB of free space. Myself and many others swear to its usability. I highly recommend you checking this out; immediately. Dropbox will be releasing an iphone app very shortly and this app alone may convince me to purchase one. (finally)

So the reason for the post is the message I received from them this morning:

The Dropbox team has been hard at work these past few months and we'd like to tell you about some upcoming changes and enhancements to the Dropbox service.

We're Changing Undo History
Did you know that Dropbox automatically:
  • Safeguards any files you delete in case you need to undelete them
  • Saves old file versions in case you need to go back to them later
It's like having "undo" for all your files and folders.

Today, Dropbox keeps these deleted files and old file versions ("undo history") forever. For many people this creates clutter, and it also wastes space.

Because of this, beginning August 1st, our new policy will be to keep 30 days of undo history. If you'd like to have unlimited undo history, then you need to upgrade to one of our paid accounts.
While this feature has been a fantastic safety net, I understand the eClutter it can create!

Open Source Project Management Tool


Anyone interested in getting their eClutter (mails, calendars, tasks, etc.) must check this out. This is a "web office suite" mashed up and created by its users. The forums are fantastic and the activity is constant and current.

I have friends using this currently and are very pleased with it; especially those that call themselves developers. My major beef with it: it must be downloaded.
