We are always on the look for user friendly, interactive, and FREE ways to get work done online. With that in mind, we would love to share with you...Twiddla!
Twiddla is an online platform that allows you to invite as many guests as you would like, and basically conduct a meeting. Twiddla includes voice and chat features that also make it a dream! Did we mention that it is completely free? You don't need to login, download, or add anything to your computer! But wait! It's not just for meetings. Imagine how great it would be to discuss and revise event floorplans with both you and your client looking at the revisions onilne in real time. Or mark up invitations. What about co-surfing for venues? "

We Think You'll Love...Bheestie Bag!

Bheestie Bag is a product that we know everyone could use. It's an affordable solution to those times when you accidentally drop your phone or electronic device in water! Two sisters from Oregon came up with Bheestie bags when a family member dropped a gameboy into water. Using liquid absorbing beads you just place your device in the Bheestie Bag for up to 72 hours and voila it SHOULD be fixed.
