Free Tool Friday- Find all your content

Posted in Tips & Resources on 6:16 am

Today’s Free Tool Friday is extra special, because Noland Hoshino guest blogs & shares an awesome app.

Zan from Mixtape Communications is taking a break this month. Luckily Noland Hoshino has jumped in with this special guest blog post for today’s Free Tool Friday.

 If you’re like me, you’re overwhelmed by the abundance of good content and information online. There are so many great articles, and so little time to read them. You can go mad if you don’t have a system to sort and consume the goodies.

I am like a digital squirrel (Craig Newmark should be proud). I like to gather information and store them on one of my many cloud applications, like, delicious, Evernote, Dropbox, Pocket, and Google Reader. However, sometimes I forget where I stored the information and have to search for it.

Well, there’s a tool that merges all of your cloud applications into one folder called Hojoki. I know. Awesome, right! Hojoki brings together activity feeds from apps like Basecamp, Box, Google Calendar, and more. The best part, it’s FREE and they have a mobile app for both iPhone and Android.

But there’s more. You can create a work folder and collaborate with your colleagues. If you’re gathering or have already collected articles and information for a project , you can use Hojoki to merge your individual folders together (but still keep your cloud sources separate). Once you’ve created a workspace, you can use the search feature to find a specific article. This will save you time from archiving your own information.

Try Hojoki. It’s NUTS!

About Free Tool Friday

Do you like free tools that help you be more effective at your job? Well apparently you aren’t alone.  When we blogged on our 19 favorite free tools for non profits it became one of our most popular posts. We’re keeping it going with Free Tool Friday!  Every Friday we’ll post a new tool that we think will help you communicate better and help your nonprofit’s mission.

Some fine print: Neither Mixtape Communications  or Zan McColloch-Lussier  get a kick back or any financial benefit from this service or tool. We feel like it is a good resource for non profits but we didn’t create it. So please check it out and make sure it is right for your organization. If we recommend a tool or resource on Free Tool Friday and you discover that it is crap, not actually free, or something is funky about it, please let us know.
