Ring Doorbell: A Review
As part of our continuing series on the Internet of Things, we’d like to be the twentieth or thirtieth person to convince you to get a Ring Doorbell. Yes, we know we are late to the party on this one. We’ve had wireless IP security cameras for years... why would we need a Ring? We were wrong. It’s fantastic.
Should We Switch to Slack?
Slack is a cloud-based communication and project management tool that’s been around since 2013 and those who use it have been singing its praises for years, so it’s about time we entertained the possibilities for adopting it. For years, we’ve been using Google chat to discuss off-the-cuff project matters, and we like that it can be used with multiple chat clients on many different kinds of devices. (We’ve even been known to customize the alerts so that they sound more like a calm piano glissando than a jarring beep.) We like that it’s easy to search and the space for such chats is unlimited. Keep in mind that we’ve been using it for about 8 years, so we have a lot of equity in Google Chat.
Online Survey Tools
If you’ve ever thought about creating an online survey, this experience is probably familiar to you. Search for “free online survey.” Create an account and start setting up your survey. Run into a roadblock… you have to pay to: • Add more questions • Customize the look of the survey • Send to more recipients • Export survey results • And so on. And then you end up abandoning that survey tool and moving to another one, repeating the same steps over and over. With this guide, we hope to minimize the pain of choosing a survey tool.
