OnlineHomeBase
OnlineHomeBase (onlinehomebase.com) is a “free-form” information
keeper. Instead of having to igure out how you'll bookmark something,
or structure it so it its into an existing infrastructure, you can use Online-
HomeBase to create collections of free-form information, in addition to
organizing the people who need the information.
OnlineHomeBase is a subscription service costing $2.95 a month, but a free
14-day trial is available. Once you've registered, you'll be taken on a quick
tour. Take the tour; it's worth it. You'll then have the option to create your
new HomeBase; you have several diferent layout options, including three
columns with a calendar and even a daily diary which you update by send-
ing e-mail ( Figure 13.15 ).
Figure 13.15 Onlinehomebase gives you several different layout and formatting options.
he HomeBase consists of two large parts; an online calendar and an online
notepad. Don't be put of by the word “notepad”; you can actually upload
images and links into the notepad. (Note that some of this functionality
works best with Internet Explorer.) here's also a calendar where you can
put events and reminders. If you don't mind using a little geeky format-
ting (a couple of semicolons) you can actually e-mail yourself reminders
