Here are some of the useful online tools I’ve become aware of in the last few weeks:

Web conferencing: dimdim is a new site that lets you share your desktop, chat, and videoconferencing with  someone, for free.  Copilot is also a helpful tool.

Time Tracking: I started tracking the amount of time I spend on different projects at church, and wanted a tool where I could easily enter that time and view it by day, by project, etc.  14Dayz and Freshbooks are both free (depending on your plan), and helpful in this regard.

Database: Dabbledb is a powerful way of organizing a lot of data that is shared by multiple people.  I’ve been trying it out on one of our projects, and really like the functionality.

Logic Studio: Apple has rolled out a new version of their high end recording software, and it includes an interface for playing your software synths off of a laptop live.  I’d be interested to see how it compares with Ableton’s Live.  (Let me know if any of you spring for it.)  Expensive, but probably a lot cheaper than a new synthesizer…

HT to Ehub for most of these.
