5. TOOLS ADVANTAGES
Instant messaging (Google
talk and MSN messenger)
In business I think it's useful
because by using instant
messaging we can talk,
discuss and negotiate and
always save the
conversations (more secure
than telephone). By using
instant messaging we
release the phone lines and
we can keep doing another
tasks while waiting for the
answer.

6. TOOLS ADVANTAGES
Dropbox and Facebook To share photos,
information, toughs, events
with my friends. Facebook is
great to schedule meetings
that involve multiple people
(for instance flash or slow
mob )
