23 Things in Montana

Most of us are busy, and will be stretching our time to work on the Minnesota program, 23 Things on a Stick. BUT if you're curious about what other states are doing, Montana just happens to be doing a similar program this season.

The appearance is a bit different. The MN program is using a blog to convey the lessons. The MT program is using a wiki format. Compare and contrast! (i.e. fter you register your blog and do a couple of those 23 things.... )

When I'm Done with 23 Things....

When I finish with 23 Things, I'm going to follow up with the free items on this list. Stumbled across it today:

Lifehacker's Top 10 Underhyped Webapps

Jott, Doodle, Meebo, and Remember the Milk have my attention.

Jott transcribes phone call messages into text and sends them to you via email or text message. (I talk to myself all the time. Why not get a free transcription?)
Doodle - To schedule an event, set up a Doodle poll with possible dates and times and send to participants.
Meebo - instant messaging via web - no software installation required
Remember the Milk - task manager; get organized!
