Please tell me how to smoothly access yahoo and hotmail mail with gmail? I’m begging. I know you can forward with Yahoo Plus but Hotmail won’t that I can tell.
Gracie, thanks for asking this, it’s something we should have put into the article originally. Izymail will enable pop access to any of the free email providers which you can then set up at gmail.
Nice collection of helpful sites. I’ve been using “Live Writer” for a while and it’s okay. The best thing is being able to post to many different types of blogs. Great tool for me. Thanks.
Thanks for that link to Izymail but it’s only a trial right? I’m trying to convert the household to Gmail and I have one person with Hotmail and one with Yahoo accounts that they’re not quite ready to let go of. I thought forwarding those accounts to Gmail for awhile would get them acclimated slowly to the new interface but I didn’t want to pay for the privilege for something that would just be temporary anyway, you know? I think I’ll just have to talk them into sending out a blanket email to everyone in their address books informing them of their new Gmail addresses.
Thanks for this article btw, and I’m now checking out Rescue Time which tells me I spend way too much time whining in the comments section of other people’s blogs. ;)
@Gracie — Yes, Izymail is only a trial and after that it’s subscription based but it’s really cheap, especially if you only need it for 1 year. I will say that I’ve never used it myself though so I can’t comment on how useful it actually is. I also still have a yahoo account that I’ve been slowly trying to faze out and am realizing how difficult that is to do.
Isn’t Rescue Time both fascinating and a bit scary?
@Van Blize — Thank you for the Live Writer recommendation, I’ve added it to the list and am going to check it out in the next couple of days when I find time.
I have got to try Evernote and Rescue Time out.
Pandora radio does not work outside of USA.
Great list BTW.
@Nishi — Those are Angie’s two favorites on the list. Both are highly recommended!
@Infonote — It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the list. It’s a shame Pandora doesn’t work outside of the USA.
Thanks for the links. I’ll definitely be checking some of the time management apps!
Andrews last blog post..My Ink Trail — Best of the Web, July 2008
I have only ever used iGoogle, I think I may check out a few of the others you mentioned.
Thanks for a good list. I use just about each one and I’m gonna check out the ones I don’t.
