Previously, I had written about my decision to buy a netbook over an iPad. Having recently spent a week with a netbook and a few days with an iPad, I have not only decided my first instinct was correct, but I’ve also become increasingly disappointed with Apple. Here is what I’ve found through using these 2 devices.

Google has always felt like one of those logos/brands that you just can’t touch. Based on the typeface Catull, it’s nothing ground breaking but it has always been unique because it truly mirrors the Google brand (open and accessible). I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed (or at least took note) of the new google logo, colors and icons. So, what has Google changed—and why do I like it?

(Sorry pc’s, most of these are mac apps) Each person is different, but this is a great selection of what I consider to be the “best of” for each phase of productivity.

So, I’m sure you’ve seen the new “buzz”—literally. And I’m sure you’ve seen the number of articles that have followed. At first, I found myself buying into the criticism that google was trying to hard to be the social network it will never be. Google has been trying—in many ways—through many different platforms: Buzz, Wave, Groups, Apps, Chat… But, thanks to Don, I’ve been reminded why we love google.

It’s simple. Google likes to play with others.

But, having said that…how are you using Buzz? Or are you?

Maybe this is an unfair comparison. Both are simple and free (for the time being) web-based timers built for those who want to bill hourly (or just keep track of project-based time). There are other online web apps that will track your time, but I find that most try and do too much—such as create invoices or clients/customer based projects.

UPDATE: Neither. I was fooled—please see the update of our time tracking application, Paymo.
