Along with email and the telephone, here are the tools I use to stay in touch with clients for general communication, small group meetings and training. I provide free training and orientation to anyone unfamiliar with these applications.
Yahoo Instant Messenger. You can see when I am in and shoot me a question in real time. I also use this for small group discussions (cha
ts). Sign up (real easy) and download the application (free).
Google Calendar. You can subscribe (free) to my calendar and see my schedule. You can create your own calendar and allow others to subscribe to it so they can view your schedule of activities and events. No need to have to constantly send out emails to promote your organization or remind people about your upcoming activities. Sign up (free and real easy) and you are ready to go. Click here to see my schedule. You'll need an account to subscribe to my or any other calendar.
Google Documents. View Word and Excel files online in real time. Collaborate on changes to files. Same as above.
