I’ve never been a big fan of the “Video Phone” concept, so I doubt I’ll be using this new feature when I’m chit-chatting with friends and co-workers.

However, I can see how this might be a useful business tool, so I am going to pick up a couple of new web cams and give the new GMAIL Video Chat a try this month. I can see how I might want to jump from a chat session with a colleague from another office to a video chat session to show off an “Important Visual”.

Important Visual

Sometimes playing a little “show and tell” can be useful during a business meeting.

Here’s a video Google posted on YouTube.com showing a little more detail:

Getting Things Done.

Like everyone else in the world, I’m slammed with to many “to do’s.” My system for keeping things organized is overwhelmed, and my Email inbox is always about 2 emails away from ready to explode.

I remember reading a book a couple years ago that helped me get organized called “Getting things Done” by David Allen. So I figured, let’s see if anyone has designed a Gmail plugin to follow the rules David set up in “Getting Things Done.” Sure enough, I found what seems to be a pretty nice Gmail little plugin called GTD Inbox.

I’ve been playing with it for the last couple hours, and my email inbox is reduced to ZERO and I have a nice little list of actions on the left side of my screen. So far so good.

Anyway, if you would like to give it a try, check out:
