When we talk about apps and ‘cool tools’ we are not talking about toys or gimmicks. We mean apps that can be of serious help to you in your business; for example they may save you time, get you better reach or enhance an activity that you are doing already.

Productivity Apps with ‘cool’ factor

In this podcast, we discuss some apps that are so new you may not have heard of them yet; one of these is Vine App. Created by Twitter, Vine App allows you to make 6 second videos which you can post. Now, you may wonder what you can do with 6 seconds but check out the many videos that have already been made!

Bringing new meaning to the concept ‘elevator speech’ some cool marketing videos have been made. With Vine App, you don’t have to record the 6 seconds continuously which means that you can record small parts then stitch them all together. This app has taken off in a very short time with over 100,000 videos made by its’ second weekend.

Productivity Apps that save you a headache

You know when you receive an email and you just don’t have time to deal with it right now? A new app that is a buzz amongst our team and helps you to deal with your emails is Mailbox app. What this does is it allows you to have that email resent to you at a later time or date when you do have the time to deal with it. Unlike other apps, you won’ t be able to download Mailbox right away; when you sign up for it you go into a queue for downloading, which at the current time may take a few weeks.

Why can’t you get it right away? Mailbox app is doing this because they want to ensure that nothing goes wrong with your email when you download, so that communication is not interrupted.

Productivity Apps that save your head space!

We all have a lot of things we need to remember; perhaps you’ve spotted something cool while you were online and want to remember to reference it in a blogpost, or, perhaps you have a lot of information that you need to share with clients or team members. Evernote is a great file sharing site that allows you to do just that.

You can use it like any other file sharing site to share documents with others, or you could use it like a ‘swipe file’ to store bits and pieces you find online and want to be able to reference later. Another cool thing we love about Evernote is that it can remember places for you. For example, if you are out at a new restaurant you want to remember and have your phone on you, Evernote can use the location services on your phone and store the place for you.

This is just a taste of the cool productivity apps and tools we cover in our podcast. Check it out to find out more and leave us your comments below about your experience with them or ‘cool tools’ that you have found.
