As the holiday season descends upon us, it feels like our busy lives just get busier. Between end-of-year project deadlines, Christmas gatherings and kids’ hockey games, there’s just so much to keep track of. Sometimes it seems like “The Age of Information” is just a phrase designed to put a positive spin on complete overload. With so many responsibilities to juggle, who among us hasn’t missed a key appointment or frantically scanned through old emails to find a name, phone number or date? Isn’t there a better way? With a free web tool called Nexo, we think we just may have found one.
Nexo is a collaborative project tool that allows you to create highly customized group websites. With a Nexo group, you can post and update attached documents (including Word and Excel), create discussion threads, share photos / videos and even create an interactive calendar. By allowing you to share information quickly and efficiently, Nexo can save you both time and headaches. Much like Facebook or LinkedIn, all content lives in cyberspace, meaning Nexo requires no software downloads or unusual system requirements.
As you may already know, project management software similar to Nexo has existed for years. Two things make this discovery distinct. The first is that rather then offering you access to an online group, Nexo gives you a personal account that in turn permits you to set-up as many groups as you’d like. This means you can potentially have access to Book Club discussions, PowerPoint for a work project and your daughter’s latest soccer schedule… all on one website. The second key difference is that Nexo is completely free. As we’ve mentioned previously, Social Media tools are usually only successful if a large number of people are using them. By making Nexo completely free, the creators have made it easier for early adapters (like yourself!) to form groups and invite friends, teammates and coworkers to join them.
If you can’t find time right now, make it your New Year’s Resolution to give Nexo a try! We think you might just be amazed by how easy Nexo groups are to customize and much the program simplifies the information management tasks you do daily, both on the job and in your free time. If you’re interested in learning more, we encourage you to start by watching this great video, which explains the concept behind Nexo and how it works (it also includes a pretty ridiculous impression of Lindsay Lohan). If that looks good to you, sign up and give it a try!
