Mash ups

I have had a look at Sportkin - I like it!

If you had just moved to a town and were looking for clubs for the kids or yourself this would be brilliant. If you are a club and you want to promote yourself the ability is there.

A very useful tool!

Instant Messaging

I have been using the instant messanger on Face book for ages, I have also previously used MSN. my inlaws live in Scotland but we havent bothered with Skype, my MIL doesnt go near the computer so it would be a waste of time really. I spend enough time in front of the computer at work so I like relaxing on the lounge with the phone!! Old fashioned I guess.

Google Docs

I also use the Google Docs to share things between friends and other Scout leaders. they are brilliant for when you cant find or dont have your memory stick with you. accessable anyhwere, dont corrupt and a fantastic way to work on porjects at different locations.

Event management

I se google calendar all the time at home. It allows my husband, my babysitter and now my daughter see what is happening very easily. I change it and they all know about it - supposedly.....

RSS feed rinsers

If I used the RSS facility then these would be useful tools. I dont however so they arent really that important to me.
