I so need to get better at doing this Zara Altair
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff Bond.
ReplyDeleteRon Serina, it's pretty simple and I had a few videos on Productive Computer Systems's YouTube channel on the subject. There are many ways to adopt Keep and I do mean many. I use it religiously these days, in fact after Evernote decided to raise prices, I think I'll be discontinuing that and strictly using Keep.
If you need assistance - don't be shy, I'd be happy to assist.

ReplyDeleteThan you Oleg I will most likely take you up on that :)
Good article I use at least half of the suggestions already. Just have to decide to spend the time training Google my voice patterns =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, I use keep a lot.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Zara Altair, although it's a bit dated now.
ReplyDeleteZara Altair nothing there!
ReplyDeleteZara Altair I'm viewing within G+ app on iPhone 6 - the link presents the information about hangout but no vid.
ReplyDeleteJeff Bond opened in safari - same issue.
ReplyDeleteJeff Bond thanks. I found the article informative, just updating my experience with the link provided as I know Google will make changes without regard for users experiences.
ReplyDeleteGlen Beer, that's not true. Google created an exceptional app, and it let us use it for free, let's never forget that before accusing them of something.
ReplyDeleteWhen you create software it's always, always an issue of features vs ease of use. Also it's always an issue with updates. Either you stay compatible or innovative, and it has to be one or the other and not both, at least not long term.
Things evolve and so does software. Google definitely cares about user experience, but they also care about moving forward. They usually do a good job, but the users are expected to keep up, if they want. Nobody is forcing us to use their software and since we're not paying anything for it, I think we all should be grateful to them. I most certainly am.
Glen Beer I've been in my writing cave. Try YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ErqtLgmuaQ
ReplyDeleteProductive Computer Systems Free? you must be kidding.
ReplyDeleteBTW, they are a customer in our data center and we use all their products for our business. I like the apps 100%, however I've seen hangout changes without notice more than 20 times since it was launched. We also use it significantly in our business, which is why I notice the changes.
You know what I mean, Glen Beer, you didn't pay $400 for using Docs/Sheets/Slides as you would for the MS Office equivalent. Yes, there's $5/mo per user for using the Apps for business and yes, there is $1.99/mo for 100gb of storage, but we're talking practically free here. G+ is free, Google Search is free, Hangouts, Spaces - all free. So NO, I'm not kidding!
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a bit of personal history. I developed a pretty complex (over 100 tables) system for a resort company back in 2000, took me 4 months to design & develop it... all in MS Office XP ,with a ton of VBA (and I do mean a ton), mostly using Access and Outlook, with some Excel. And guess what happened when Office 2003 came out? Exactly - the damn system didn't work at all as expected. Whatever changes they did in that one release totally screwed up my system and due to its complexity - I'd have to practically redo it from scratch to ensure full compatibility. I opted out and told the client that we'll just have to continue using Office 2002 runtime and we'll see. Fast forward to 2016 - they're still running it today, which most folks can't even believe, but they are and still using the clunky old XP version of run time and I haven't been able to use any of the newer capabilities of Office since 2002 release.
So, it's not just Google that does this, everyone does and you do your best to swim along, that's all. Nobody's forcing anyone to use anything. If you want to drop hundreds on MS Office - you'd still not get what you desire. As I said earlier - these folks need to move forward and they have to innovate. We want all the new cool stuff, don't we? So, that's what they do, but it's impossible to keep things same and compatible... that's the price.
Regardless of how much I loved my Atari 800 - Google Chrome won't run on it... and for good reasons. Take care!
Productive Computer Systems We pay a monthly fee (over $200/mo) for Apps for Business. We also sell their products to our customers. Keep is one of my favourite.
