Of the many weekly shift scheduling apps out there this one certainly looks to be up there with them as far as functionality goes with drag and drop features making the operation stress free and fast. If you’re still plotting your staff’s workload on a spreadsheet and then pinning it to the noticeboard you really should take a look at rotaville. You can still print out a copy of the weekly schedule if you like but with a good level of collaboration available on this system there are better ways to notify staff. Read more
It’s difficult to know how to approach this one really, as an app the features look fine with clear screen pages and it’s all pretty thorough. To be honest though if I had a bunch of friends that needed this much organization just for a night out at the cinema I think I might be tempted to try and find some new ones. It’s not just for the cinema of course as you can use fasterplan to organize any type of get together with your chums. Not only can you suggest an activity but you can give them a whole host of options ... Read more
I’m a great believer in people writing some sort of record of their lives and I don’t just mean the rich and famous. There a far too many gravestones in the world with no story attached to them as far as I’m concerned and so getting people to jot down just some basic daily or weekly events is a start. There are wider implications of course and even though many people will consider their lives mundane and of no interest whatsoever to anyone else the generations that follow will probably see things in a different light. From a social history angle, ... Read more
There are quite a few online booking apps around and most of them do a good job. In a lot of cases thought they are designed for outlets with a number of staff and the scheduling issues that go with that. This one however does exactly the opposite and is specifically for those people practising their skills alone.In fact people working alone probably have more need for an online booking service as they don’t have anyone else around to answer the phone when they’re busy with a client. This app can overcome that problem by giving your customers online access to your available time slots, prices ... Read more
Business meetings can often be a complete waste of time and believe me I’ve been to enough of them to know that’s very true. In fact I’ve been to meetings that have had nothing to do with business and they can be a total waste of time too.The reason for this in most cases stems from a lack of proper preparation. This lack of preparation usually means that action points are never recorded, minutes are not circulated and any follow-up plans that were actually discussed are completely forgotten about.Agreedo can help get you get organized so that all aspects of a meeting ...

Like any industry event or networking opportunity the annual conference of ˈwhatever it might beˈ needs at least some basic research before you commit to attending.You’ll be bombarded with emails from conference organizers even if you work in an industry with the most tenuous of links to the principal subject but then of course you would be.Their job is to fill the hall or conference center and justify delegate charges and trade stand fees therefore their standard marketing approach is along the lines of; "The event you simply can’t afford to miss!"Heard it all before? I bet you have, well you ... Read more
This is all a bit of fun and probably serves the same purpose as a stress ball for people who are constantly dragged into pointless meetings at work.The business world is full of people who consider spending hours talking about something is more productive than actually doing anything about it. Well this app won’t really help you convince these annoying people to stop running everything up the flag pole or asking you to think outside the box but it might help you to laugh about it afterwards with your colleagues.It’s free of course and there is no registration requirement so your submissions are anonymous (we hope!) ...

Why would you need to shorten your URL I ask myself? Mine is pretty short anyway. But shortening one's URL is not about most of us. Where it is of most benefit is with something like a particular forum or if you share a link on Facebook or Twitter. Kly.so is a URL Shortening Service that not only does the shortening work for you but also pays you for the privilege. The only thing that they ask is to put a small advert on your link (which can be skipped). Read more
