The Commentor- A Visual Online Collaboration & Annotation Tool There are several tools on the net for written online collaboration. For example, MUO recently published an article about TypeWith.me for writing collaboration. But for those working on and seeking feedback on visual media projects, The Commentor might be a useful online collaboration tool. This site is useful for web designers, photographers, advertising agencies, and freelancers in general who work in the visual communication fields. Tools like The Commentor enable users to get beyond writing endless emails to provide feedback; and instead, it provides ways to give feedback on visual documents themselves. The Commentor’s free plan allows for 100MB of image uploads, two projects, and three collaborators. After signing up for an account, you begin by adding a project folder. Add Sketch After the project is created, you start adding “sketches,” e.g. visual images, designs, art work, photos. Annotation Tool Once projects are uploaded, you can invite others to give you, well, comments.
Flowr. Real-time Collaboration, knowledge exchange and smart inf Collabtive – A Free Open Source Project Management Software Managing projects can be tricky, time-consuming and confusing. It’s easy to lose one’s way when faced by a myriad of tasks, each with its own deadline. Project management requires a manager to be alert at all times. Managing projects is not an easy task. Collabtive is open source project management software. In order to use Collabtive, you need to have PHP support on your system(s). Once you login with your credentials, you are greeted by what the Collabtive team call your Desktop. Clicking on a project name takes you to the project page. This page also contains a number of icons at the top, which allow you to visit your Milestones page, review your Tasklists, access the Messaging system, as well as access the file repository for a particular project. The tasklist allows you to create tasks, which may be critical to the project. The Milestones can be looked upon as distinct phases in the project timeline. All in all, Collabtive provides for a very elegant project management system.
Scrumy – Finally, A Truly Simple Project Management App For Grou I like project management software, but for the most part most of them look like clones of Microsoft Project. Not long ago I explored Gantter, a free online project management tool that looks a lot like MS Project. Abhigyan has covered Collabtive, another group project management tool as well. And of course Tina provided a great overview of all of the project management tools so many people have come to know and love – like Remember the Milk and Google Calendar. These are all great resources, but again I really just want a very simple website that I can go to where, at a glance, I can see everything that’s going on. The simplicity of creating your own Scrumy project page just blew my mind. If you don’t really care about the URL itself, then you can use the options on the main Scrumy page if you prefer. Once you type in “Scrumy.com/YourProject“, you’ll see a blank project area with the option to create a “New Story.” Have you ever used any online project management tool?
Gantter – The Ultimate Free Creative Project Management Tool For the most part, I’m a very task oriented and “to-do list” sort of guy. At work I’m able to manage the many projects and even small tasks that I’m responsible for through Microsoft Project – which is, in my humble opinion, one of the most powerful project and task management applications available for desktop PCs. The problem is that most home users of moderate means can’t usually afford the Office package that includes Microsoft Project. However, at home I also have a number of involved and complicated projects that I’m trying to manage, as does my wife and if you have any teenage kids at home – project management software could help them tremendously with managing their time between homework, school projects, sport events and everything else life dishes out upon a vibrant and busy family. Free Creative Project Management Software Just By Typing a URL Here’s what blew me away. For me, such a creative way to use a project management application is like a dream come true. Simple.
Using TextExpander to conquer email Posted on 11 May 2011 • 34 comments Let me get this out there right away: I hate email. Seriously, I can’t stand it. It’s not that I have any particular problem with the medium; in fact, I’m not even one of those people that believes it should be replaced with a radical alternative. I despise it because it eats up so much of my time. So when a tool comes along to help me get email out of the way a lot quicker, I’m excited. TextExpander isn’t new. So, for the benefit of those who have never considered it — and for Sarah, for whom I promised to write this article — I’m going to explain why this is an essential app for anyone who receives a high volume of email, or regularly has to write similar responses, or makes dumb typos, or just wants to get a bit more time for the important things in life, like quaffing delicious Belgian beers. Semi-canned responses But where it really comes into its own is with dynamic ‘fill in’ fields. We’re so winning at email. Better email signatures Beyond email
Internationales Marketing Das internationale Marketing gewinnt aufgrund einer immer internationaler werdenden Geschäftstätigkeit von Unternehmen stetig an Bedeutung. Doch was ist internationales Marketing und wie unterscheidet es sich vom nationalen Marketing? Beim internationalen Marketing handelt es sich nicht um eine Disziplin, die ausschließlich andere Themen adressiert als das „klassische“, „nationale“ oder „generische“ Marketing. Oftmals dominieren Fragestellungen, die auch im generischen Marketing ihre Berechtigung haben, aber im internationalen Marketing eine besondere Beachtung erfahren und daher vertiefend betrachtet werden. Im Fokus steht die seit Jahrzehnten gestellte Frage der Standardisierung versus Differenzierung der internationalen Marktbearbeitung. Nationale und lokale Anpassungen der Marktbearbeitung führen zur zweiten Besonderheit im internationalen Marketing: der Entstehung von Rückkopplungen zwischen den Ländermärkten.
