Things 8 and 9 - Google Calendar and Evernote

Thing 8 - Google calendar. I was really impressed with this, and despite using google quite a bit, I don't think I'd even heard of it before.  I don't really need it for work as everyone uses the Microsoft Outlook calendar, but it's good to know about this, and having read about the way it can be integrated into websites and blogs, it's really one to remember.  The only thing is to do with privacy - and google finding out even more about you.  I would be very happy to use it for work, and unimportant personal things, like maybe setting up an event with family or friends, but nothing really personal is going to go on there. That's just asking for trouble!  I do wonder if the privacy issue is going to be google's downfall.

Thing 9 - Evernote. I have got an account already, but I haven't been using it much.  Reading this week's CPD23 blog and looking at the Evernote website has reminded me how useful it could be, so I will be trying it out to report back next week. I don't think I've used it to its full capability so far.
