There are two “Killer Apps” that we use almost all day long. These aren’t exciting new tools….they’ve been around for a LONG time.
They are….drum roll please:
1. Email
2. Snag-It
I know, I know…how boring is that right? They may be boring, but the combination allows us to communicate ideas , identify bugs, and convey solutions very quickly and very easily. Snag-It is just a FANTASTIC tool! I just couldn’t do my job without it, and it’s greatly reduced the amount of back and forth email we need to send to customers, prospects, or colleagues. Why? Because trying to explain something in words takes far too long.
For example, I could try to explain that job boards have slowly been declining in impact, while web 2.0 tools have been rising….but by grabbing this image from Lou Adlers site and putting in a few arrows with comments….the idea is immediately conveyed.
What I’m really excited about now is these 2 killer apps, combined with our new blog and it’s ability to receive blog postings via email. Outlook is a GREAT email client that allows constructing HTML messages very easily and quickly. Now we can see use that, in combination with SnagIt, and our Blog to publish RICH information unbelievably fast.
You gotta love technology! …or at least we do.
