Now I use Google for everything, no more Word, Excel – all that replaced by Google Docs. I use Google Reader a lot, Google Talk to chat.

We recently started using Google Voice as our main phone number as well. It’s cool – I can direct it where I need it to go – and voice mails are sent as text emails. (It doesn’t work perfectly, especially if someone speaks British English or Southern…but it’s free, and you can get the main idea usually).

I also recently started using Google Contacts. In short – I don’t like to leave my inbox for too long. Oh, I also use my inbox for GTD sorting with action labels – basically my next action folder is my to do list.

Thanks for an interesting blog!

I use Google Docs as well.. they are a wonderful place to keep documents, especially if they are to be accessed on multiple computers.

I didn’t know gmail would manage multiple accounts. I know this is a little late in coming judging by the dates of the previous posts, but you can manage multiple e-mail accounts in gmail like this:
1. Launch full Gmail
2. Click Settings (top right)
3. Click Accounts & Import
4. Click Import Mail and Contacts
5. Follow Gmail’s instructions from there.

Took me about 2 minutes to import one POP 3 account.

Now off to check into this Google Docs thing so I can stop carrying a portable hard drive between college office and home office.

I started to explore Google as a universal application but I need something that can sync with my phone (Windows Mobile). I couldn’t figure out a way to do that. I worry about changes because everytime I change something, other things go out of whack.

Is there a way to sync tasks with the iPhone? I’m using Todo with toodledo on the back end. I’m also using Highrise (mostly because of real estate) but I’d love to use Google contacts. It seems like there’s no “contact standard” that companies follow yet. Google contacts doesn’t have the ability to add notes with date stamp.
Thanks for the post.

…this is what I’ve been saying to people. They argue, but you’ve pretty much answered the most common objections I hear.

It’s okay to hate Google I guess, but I’m still waiting for someone to give me the credible good reason.

Google Task is a recent and very nice function.

Ah, but MobileMe is $100 a year . Besides, I have 16 email addresses I monitor and send from, and Apple’s webmail wont let you do that.
