Each day I find myself with at least one message in my inbox asking “What tool do you use?” or “What website do you use for X”. So I think this blog post will give you an idea of what I use / equipment I’m digging right now. My plan is that this will be a “living” blog post that I’ll update as things shift (which likely will be quite often). It’ll also make it easy to point people to when they ask questions

Tools and Websites I Like:

YouTube – main channel in which I post all my video blogs
Vimeo – secondary place in which I redundantly try to post most of my video blogs
Wordpress.org – blog software I use
Gmail – my primary personal email
TweetDeck – the app I use at home for Twitter, I use the crap out of the filters functions
HootSuite – the app I use at home for Twitter, I love the filters + future tweet functions
Tweetie – the app I use on my iPhone for Twitter
Flickr – I upload and post all my photos here
Netvibes – this is my preferred RSS reader when I’m at a computer
Google Reader (mobile) – this is what I use on iPhone to read RSS
Delicious – I bookmark everything I find interesting here
VerticalResponse – my email marketing software
Adobe Elements – my photo imaging editor
Adobe Premier – my preferred video editing software (this may change very soon)
Final Cut Express – my video editing software I use for my video blogs
GelaSkins – I’ve got one of these on all my stuff. I’m really into the art community @website
Grooveshark – the ‘google’ of music searching. I use this to quickly preview songs.
FlipMinoHD – this is the camera I use to shoot my video blogs
Canon 40D – this is the DSLR camera I use to take my photos
Canon SD750 – this is the point and shoot I use
Mac Pro (desktop tower) – this is my computer I use at home

What’s on my screen during any given work day:

I open and close many websites and a few applications in the given day. Here are typically what you would find open if you were to walk up to my computer during the day. You might be surprised to find that I don’t keep either a Twitter, Facebook, or Gmail open at all times it’s true, I prefer to “dive-in and out” during the day when appropriate.

Outlook – work email
iTunes – music player
Textpad – I work in this religiously, it’s like my workspace to stub out anything (e.g. short-term lists, copy-paste storage, virtual post-it)
Firefox – my preferred web browser software

Some of you will find this blog post interesting- some of you will not. I’m hoping for some it will turn your head to maybe something you’re not familiar with to check out. If you’re looking for more- check out the inkkc.com “My Essentials” feature I was featured in earlier this year.
