Otherwise don't get me wrong, I'm as visual as the next guy...

There were alot of dumb business ideas that got built up around podcasting, but now there are some that work. The format is all about content and time. I drive/fly alot and a I work out alot and podcasts are a perfect way for me to continue to multi-task while doing these sort of things. The trouble with podcasts continues to be discovery - unlike blogs you can't search to find what you are looking for. I think podcasts are already through the trough and headed up the curve.

We used Excel for the longest time because it "just worked"... however, we just moved to Yodlee and I am ecstatic with it. True the massive manual process in moving over data is an obstacle... but it's been worth it so far. Forgot about personal finance software.

Other than Vista I don't use any Microsoft products any more at home. Picasa for photos, google docs for work, twhirl for communications, gmail for email, wordpress for blogging. Really the only non-cloud software I use anymore is Quicken. And I would stop using that if Mint would allow me to import all my old Quicken data. Google is on the same attack vector to the enterprise that Microsoft was a decade ago: through the home user that brings their stuff to work. The partnerships with Salesforce.com will only accelerate this. Same is true for me, especially for my personal life. Other than Vista I don’t use any Microsoft products any more at home.
