Just spent some time learning about an organizational site called Backpack. Here is the link if you want to peruse it:http://www.backpackit.com/tour
I watched all the video tour clips and found them very impressive. It seems like having a Backpack account is almost like having a very technologically advanced kind of day-planner! You can create pages, add photos and maps, upload existing files, create a company or individual calender ( we all need this one!) and even have an online message board for your employees.
I think this is a great tool for businessess that have many employees and companies that need to continually keep in touch with their employees and customers.
This may be useful for larger libraries that employ a lot of staff who are not always at the library at the same time due to part-time hours and/or travel schedules.
The message board seemed like a valuable option for sending and exchanging information with others. Instead of sending individual emails out to everyone, people just check in to the message board and can read and respond to news and comments at their convenience.
This site seems to encompass a lot of what we have been learning about so far on our discovery of the 23 things. It takes information from varied sites such as Google Maps and incorporates it into it's own format. The only thing that worries me is what happens if the system crashes? Will we all remember what we are supposed to be doing that day?
