New Technology for CI - What's Your Favorite?

[Kieran Michael Brown]

What other types of new technology, especially "web 2.0" tools, do you find valuable? I'm thinking of tools like technorati, del.icoi.us and Linkedin and custom RSS feeds. I suppose you could include the whole pantheon of Google apps in there as well. You might also include high end tools like what Anderson Analytics offers.

I'm interested in hearing how other people have adapted some of these great gadgets for CI purposes.

I am using Google alerts as well, save me a lot of time as well as RSS with combination with del.icoi.us it is great.

We are using Wiki as a base for our internal knowledge system. I especially like the semantic Wiki it give you totally new dimension of work.

Interesting article in Wired today about using webapps like google docs (et al.) offline using Fluid in combination with google gears. Anyone have any experience with this?

I'm thinking of going to something like an Asus eee PC for travel, and the one downside is needing near constant connectivity, so offline solutions like this might be ideal (and inspire me to actually dig into google's .ppt replacement which now has some pretty nice templates).

As a matter of fact, I got a 901 12G with Win XP and a gig of RAM from Amazon about two months back - it's one of the best laptops I've ever had and I don't miss the DVD drive a bit. Beware installing ANYTHING on the 4 GB C:\ drive however - I had to remove it all and move it to the larger 8GB D:\ drive - but all my docs are on an SD card I can pop out and open up on my desktop at the office and if I wreck the PC, it's only $600, so I can pick up a new one. Good pick.
