What are you using for start page ...Netvibes, iGoogle, Pageflakes ... any others ?

I tried using a startpage, but it seems to hurt more than help. I can keep up with everything using Google Reader, Remember The Milk, GMail and FriendFeed. I somtimes use Prism to run them separate from my main browser.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I use toolbar links to del.icio.us tags as start pages. I have a netvibes dashboard for work feeds (which is not a start page). Muck with google/ig but never got much use out of it.
- Ashton
I stick with google.com for my start page, mostly because it loads really quickly and is typically where I'm headed anyway :)
- Brett Kelly
My favourite start page is about:blank, which won't distract me from the thing I intended to do in the browser.
- Jeroen Sangers
Other... the browser session will resume me back to what I was browsing. So, hopefully I'm never 'starting' at the beginning unless going full-circle.

Other... Pbwiki or more often just my bookmark toolbar folders

FireFox extention "Morning Coffee" which opens my Gmail, 30Boxes, RememberTheMilk, Google Reader, Facebook, FriendFeed and some metrics about http://42Tags.com :)
- Eitan Burcat
Eitan, why 30 Boxes and not Google Calendar?
- Bill Bittner
None. They take to long time to load.
- Svartling
Morning Coffee on both Firefox and Flock browsers. On Flock for news, social stuff in early am, then to Firefox with wiki, blog, Zoho and gtd stuff when it's time to focus on work.
- Ro (Lilyhill)
I started with igoogle but decided a start page didn't work for me. I typically open MySocial24X7 in the sidebar, email then gReader as my startup
- Dave Ploch
using netvibes as my startpage. On it I also got a tab with favourites, so I can acces them everywhere. Set up my netvibes as my main source of information. My public universe can be found here; http://www.netvibes.com/marcelv...

iGoogle for me, but I'm guilty of not optimizing it to the degree I should. I do have weather/movie times/news, but those are kinda basic.
- Stellina
Really like Netvibes, wish I would find it more useful, but just doesnt work for me - gets too cluttered. Instead I have RTM and Greader as two-tap FF start pages.
- Peter Efland
I use iGoogle with RTM, Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, GCal, GReader on the main page.

What about moleskine AND software? One for capturing and the other for organizing
- Jeroen Sangers
I never could get the groove with web solutions. I felt too unconnected from my lists.
- Greg Newman
Greg, that's something I deal with as well. While having my lists on my iPhone is nice, the connection feels tenuous at best (since it depends on my ability to connect to the Internet). Trying to come up with an equally portable solution using paper, though, is proving to be difficult.
- Brett Kelly
Very difficult. I'm "trying" to find time away from my MBP which is proving to be an equal challenge. I was hoping paper would break some of that reliance.
- Greg Newman
Here's an interesting take on moleskine use i've been trying to adopt: http://utilware.com/gsd2.html
- Greg Newman
What I've found, after working at this for a long time, is that I cannot ignore what I like to do best. I like good pens and a square-ruled Moleskine. Yes, something online is easier to search and re-order *but I don't feel good using it*! That's the bottom line. I like reaching for the Moleskine, like the way the pen feels, like the checks and the highlighting. I may then transfer to something online, but getting it down in the first place is what's important. Paper makes me do that. Paper keeps my focus.
- Ro (Lilyhill)
Neither. Hole-punched paper. Moleskine is great for ubiquitous capture but not for master project/task lists. Exception: I keep my @ERRANDS list in my Moleskine since it's in my purse and therefore out and about with me.
- Marina Martin
I used to be all Moleskine. But then I got a Smartphone. And I now use different web services instead of Moleskine. I jot quick notes in the Evernote application on my phone. I coordinate tasks with Remember the Milk. And I brainstorm and write scene snippets for my novel in a Google Sites wiki. The only time I use a Moleskine is when I have lots to write and I'm away from a computer. So I still carry it.
- Bill Bittner
i cant do without me pen n paper - so moleskine it is ..to start with- but I am in the constant search of a good web based gtd system. Have just started RTM and Tudomo. In the past I have used Nozbe - its great and very intuitive ...my prob was the upload time.
- viki saigal
+1 for Moleskine (and Pilot G2 Pro)
- Czar
I'm pretty much back to paper, but i still use Backpack for long-ish term storage of files and some permanent lists. My notebook is just badass (pocket squared moleskine) and my pen (pilot G2 mini) is too :)
- Brett Kelly
Software plus notepad.
- Ian Betteridge
I use a combination of software and index cards. The Levenger Pocket Briefcase has been a Godsend! I've been thinking about dusting off my Circa notebook, but am holding steady until I get a look at MobileMe next weekend.
- Jack Collins
I am a pen and paper guy myself. As much as I love tools like Omnifocus, I always seem to revert back to my Levenger Pocket Briefcase for capture and my Levenger Junior Circa for tracking/notetaking. This and one of my fountain pens (I have a rotating collection) and I am in productive heaven.
- Patrick Rhone
Software... I keep getting back to RTM as main inbox - super fast & flexible. Also tried the index cards, but found out that the note taking option on my cell was by far the fastest, especially with a shortcut, and always have the cell around anyway.
- Peter Efland
LOL Not gonna lie, I'm pretty drunk tonight. It's because Marta is in town, for shizzle, and Eric is egging me on, too!

What you software you use for RAW conversion?
Baard @ Pixum, Tsega Dinka, TranceMist and Håkan Dahlström liked this
As for myself, I have used Adobe RAW Converter from Bridge. Also now trying to learn to use LightZone because it has different way of working methods.
- Daniel Schildt
I use Adobe Lightroom
- Håkan Dahlström
And yes, I have tested Adobe Lightroom and seen how things work in Apple Aperture. So far, everyone has their good and bad sides...
- Daniel Schildt
One professional photographer friend have been saying that he tested Lightroom for while but found out that image quality was bad when compared to Aperture. He does stuff like magazine ads and billboards so RAW processing quality is one of the quite important things in editing of photos.
- Daniel Schildt
I use Lightroom, which I think is essentially automating ACR behind the scenes.

Have any of you tested LightZone? If yes, what did you think of it?
- Daniel Schildt
I installed a trial of LightZone once. Can't offer opinion, though, because it was just too different for me to take the time to really learn it... stuck with my tried and true methods with Lightroom. :)
- Kenneth LeFebvre
I found it quite different also but liked way it handles editing with editable layers instead of making direct edits in to photos. While I was just learning it for about 5-6 hours it became to look quite useful tool. LightZone has it's limitations and one of those is that because it's made with Java it really takes resources of your computer (even while how fast that might be). Anyways, it has interesting way of working and applying those workflows to use of other software can create new way to work.

How do you track what photos you have published already? Prevent duplicates.
Daniel Schildt, donato, Håkan Dahlström and lisa-k liked this
Since I publish them to Flickr, I tag them with "Flickr" when publishing. I make sure to remove the "Flickr" tag on Flickr, though.
- Jordan Hofker
I use labels in Adobe Bridge to mark the "state" of the photos - "Selected and need to be processed", "Processed maybe will upload", "Ok to upload" and "Uploaded"
- Yaniv Golan
I publish to flickr and zooomr. I use a smart album in Aperture to show me all photos with 3 stars or higher that do NOT have keywords "flickr" and "zooomr". Once I export the photos to my upload folder, I tag them with "flickr" and "zooomr". One day I am going to write a blog post about managing workflow with Aperture.
- Jeremy Brooks
With the FlickrExport plugin for Aperture by Fraser at connectedflow.com, it tags the photos with the flickr image id so it knows that it's been uploaded already. If you need to replace the image it will upload a replacement instead of a new image. Pretty handy!
- Greg Newman
In Lightroom, I mark the photos I upload to Flickr 'green'. 'Blue' means its processed and ready to upload or print.
- Bryan Villarin
I have them in folders "to be uploaded" and "uploaded" I pull from the "to be uploaded photos" and then manually move them over to the uploaded. Occasionally I'll screw up. With flickr though you can click on the date and it will show you all photos taken on that day. Dupes are easy to spot there.
- Thomas Hawk
Because I store my originals as either RAW or PSDs, and Flickr requires JPG, I just created a local folder hierarchy that mirrors my Sets in Flickr and when I Export from Lightroom, I send it to that Flickr folder where I upload it.
- Kenneth LeFebvre
I use collections in Lightroom for the various sites where I publish my photos. I have a Flickr collection, for example, so that I know which photos are up there already.

I'm retweeting here because it's a backchannel. Bottom line: Could give a shit one way or the other about Plurk HOWEVER, I'm studying every word people say about it, how they say it, why they may being saying it. This is applied social right here baby. Deconstruct everyone.

It should take you a full 3 minutes to fully grok Plurk, pros/cons/possibilities etc as well as like/dislikes. You know what it can and cannot be compared to and why and prolly spend time laughing at some of the outlandish things people are saying and nodding at some of the smart stuff. But you get over it, fiddle with it and move on and are fascinated with people watching. If so, you're like me. :)

BTW, I think the biggest problem with the tech mind is trying to cope with a hierarchy of 'features' and yet, many things are dictated by the fuzzy notions of 'cool' and 'popular' and 'social'. Twitter, like many things, is technically retarded, but yet it wins because of an abstract thing. That's what's funny about how people view software from a tech minded perspective. heh. Sucks.

eric you're absolutely right that a service cannot be reduced to the sum of its feature set. i've worked on consulting projects where we've tried to boil the ocean for ideal features and construct, lego-style, the perfect service. that misses the fuzzy/vibe element which includes UI, timing, luck, accidents, endorsements and more
- @baratunde
Quite right Eric. Plurk is a bit of fun and a good distraction but that's as far as it goes at the moment. I've said all along that I think it will be a hit with kids but I can't see it as a serious tool.

Plurk is an example of the wrong way to launch a Twitter clone.
- Karoli
It's just OK. I HATE the timeline. There's no good way to import followers from twitter or pownce. Emoticons are too cute and not necessary. It makes it too much like IM. On the good side, i like that it supports groups for friends.

I use it exclusively now. The flow is better now. One caveat: LR 2 is not compatible with LR 2 beta.
