Session: Ten Web 2.0 Ways to Work Smarter
Description
It's a fact. We misuse software tools. Everyone does. We do it because we think it's the right thing to do, but it's not. Email, for instance, was designed to send and receive messages, nothing more, nothing less. But, we use it for all types of tasks -organizing meetings, reviewing documents, measuring opinions- tasks the software was never designed to facilitate. As a result, we waste considerable time attempting to wrangle our tools into submission.

But, things are changing. Web 2.0 tools designed to help us perform useful, specific tasks -things that save us time, money, and effort- are popping up all over the web. Attend this workshop and discover ten easy-to-use, productivity-enhancing web-based tools designed to help us work smarter, not harder.

Participatory Session on the Participatory Web
Earlier in the week, one of the speakers called Web 2.0 the "Participatory Web". How appropriate that Salim chose to use a participatory session to define the top 10 Web 2.0 apps we use to work smarter and have more fun.

Everyone in the room was fully engaged and I know we'll be out there trying the web apps that were new to us.

Our list, from 1 -> 10 is: Feedreaders, Blogs, Skype, Google blog search/alerts, LinkedIn/Zoominfo, Video/photo sharing, Google Maps/Mapquest, Salesforce/SugarCRM, Basecamp, Wikis.

Salim documented the list as we went. I hope the list with explanations and pros and cons will be available through SlideShare.
