OK, I've done it. Created a blog. And why not. Everyone's got one. But I kept telling myself, "I don't have time to do this." Then a colleague pointed out that I often send out emails with various tid-bits of information - why not just post this on a blog. And there you have it... Employee Portals 2.0 blog was born.
To kick thing off - here are some items I thought might be of interest.

Writely - A free alternative to MS Word
A leading web-based word processor (trying to take on Microsoft Word). Based on AJAX programming language I briefly mentioned at the briefing. Try it - www.writely.com. It's rather amazing. And, obviously, free. I expect Google will buy them shortly.
NewsGator.com
My favorite RSS reader. Free and easy.
Live.com, Netvibes.com and gMail.com
Two very nice 'start pages' - AJAX-based drag and drop of your favorite content sources - from blogs to RSS feeds, weather, sports and news. Netvibes even enables you to display your Google gmail right on the home page. (If you don't have gmail for your home email, it's worth trying. It's free - of course, and better than yahoo or other free email services).
