My Comments

  • Gmail for Work - 05/08/2008
    Good luck Donna. I think you'll love it.
  • Gmail for Work - 10/25/2007
    Thanks Donna. I'm so used to the way Gmail organizes conversations now, I don't think I could even function without the format any more. Also, Google announced yesterday that Gmail now supports IMAP which is a standard that allows mail in your account to sync with your cell phone or other email utilities. When you archive a message on your cell phone, it automatically archives in Gmail at the same time. Pretty cool.
  • Thank you all for your comments. One of the things I love about Work.com is the friendly and motivating community of professionals. Deborah, I agree with you that Facebook has room for improvement in the B2B world. In fact, I think there are a lot of improvements that could be made, and will be made in the future. A better search would be nice, for starters. I would also like to see a rating system for groups.
  • I agree Susan. Google Alerts is a great tool too. I prefer using my RSS reader instead of getting emails, but other than that, it's another great way to track search terms from blogs, news, and videos.
  • Nice video Donna. I had not seen that video. Nice use of YouTube for damage control!
