10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling

Posted By Vickie Lester, Pacific-West Fastener Association, Friday, July 09, 2010

OK, isn't exactly geeky, but I love the way this site teaches us grammar and spelling.  I'd say it does fall in the category of business productivity.

Xpenser: Text, call or email your expenses into an organizer

Posted By Vickie Lester, Pacific-West Fastener Association, Thursday, April 22, 2010

When you set up your account, you can set up the ways you want to be able to submit expenses. You can send them in via Jott, Twitter, email and more. You just send something like "Taxi 30 to airport” or something, and your expenses will be entered into your online account. Then you can download them in a number of formats to complete your expense reports. You can also take pictures of your receipts and email them to your Xpenser account for safe keeping.
 
This service is in beta, which means it’s still free. It won’t be for long.

AirfareWatchdog.com

I get weekly updates from www.airfarewatchdog.com on flight deals (some of them unadvertised) that are available from my local airports, on pretty much all airlines.  You can find some pretty good deals.

jott.com

Posted By Vickie Lester, Pacific-West Fastener Association, Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I've not used this product, but it comes highly recommended so I'm sharing it with you.  www.jott.com has three different productivity products that are kind of virtual voice recorders.  With Jott Assistant and Jott for Salesforce, you just call a simple phone number, speak your notes, messages, or updates and hang up. Jott Voicemail works the same way, but your friends, family, and colleagues are the ones leaving the messages when they call your number. Then, Jott takes the spoken messages, turns them into text, and sends them to the right destination via email, text message, or web update.
