Basically, Zotero is like Endnote. For each item saved you can add notes, attachment, tags and you can group the related items together. Just like Endnote, MS Word plug-in is also available to easily create in-text citation and bibliography. Onefeature that is really cool is that you can save a webpage as a snapshot and highlight and annotate on it easily.

All in all, first impression of Zotero is really great. Much user-friendly than Endnote and more integrated with Google applications and other websites. I am thinking of giving Zotero a try. Files from Endnote can be imported easily. I tried it, it works great! Notes are also imported fine. Another plus – got spell-checking here. So important for me!

Flip Video : A simple way to take video at anywhere and share it easily everywhere.

Eye-Fi: Wireless memory card. It can upload photos from camera directly online. This one might replace the photomate we have. But it still can’t replace the photomate we have. If we are on the trip and there is no access to wireless network, it’s not going to work.

I am using iGoogle now and really like it. It’s like a personal online portal. Since I work on multiple computers, one at office, two at home; so I have this problem of sharing files cross computers.

There are a wealth of web-based applications or service both inside and outside of google are available for each add to iGoogle. I have added in RSS reader, notebook, sticker, To-do list, Box.net, and other small stuff like calendar and weather. I attached a screenshot of my iGoogle here. I used to use bloglines, but it seems easier to switch to Google reader and keep everything in one place. All the online notebook, sticker and to-do list are great alternatives to the paper-based version. I might misplace the slip of paper or sticker. The most important thing is that every since I set up my personal online portal, I form the habit of checking it every day, both at home and at office.

Box.net is quite easy to use and it has the feature of sharing files with others in both public and protected way. It seems quite handy for the group work.
