i LOVE google!!
I recently learned about Google Docs and Spreadsheets and WOW! is this awesome!
Brenda and I often want to work on the same spreadsheet. We are always asking each other what needs to be done next, and we always 'double-do' stuff - UGH! We had this spreadsheet that we shared, but it was kind of a pain to update and something was always kind of goofy. BUT, with Google, we can work off of the same sheet at the same time!! I can see that something is waiting, and work on it, then update the sheet so Brenda doesn't waste her time doing something I've just done. We can keep certain documents, like contract forms and client detail forms in here. It's like an Excel spreadsheet online! It's awesome - i LOVE spreadsheets! What a way to keep track of what we need to do for clients!
I learned about this from a fabulous photographer, Timothy Beckford - the one and only TimCo. This is one guy who cannot sit still. He is an Orlando and destination wedding photographer and always traveling to amazing locations all over the world, so we're using the Google tools to communicate and keep track of the design work he needs.
Since I liked the Docs and Spreadsheets so well, I also started to play with all the Google tools. Google calendar - another winner! I can make a calendar for me, and more!
All you have to do is get a gmail account. I'm busybee1@gmail.com. Then, when you sign into gmail you'll see the links at the top of the page. The calendar is very nice, and will text stuff to my phone. Of course I'm getting ready to play with the Photos link. i LOVE Google!!!
