Name: LinoIt

How I would use this: This week we were to choose a Web 2.0 application that we would use for our action research project. The Web 2.0 application I chose is LinoIt. There are several features that are important to me in LinoIt.
Important features to Me:
(1) The four wonderful neon colored rectangles digital paper to help organize tasks and information.
(2) You can email your sticky note, but only if you become a paying premium user for $3.00 a month. I suppose digital paper is more expensive to produce on your own computer.
(3) Multiple background “canvas” selections possible. You can organize at another level by sort information into different boards.
Other Important features:
(4) Settable alarms/due dates with a nice dashboard type calendar.
(5) You can place images, videos, and files into your stickies. It is limited with free accounts
(6) Web 2.0 group connectivity is built into LinoIt.
An Aside: I suppose the name “Lino It” was chosen to avoid possible trademark or copyright infringement with 3M. Lino can be a reference to the grand old days of the linotype used in printing many newspapers in the last century.
Cost & Interface: LinoIt is FREE. There is a “Premium Subscription” service that is available for a monthly fee of $3.00. (The premier account has more features, storage, searches, no ads, email in English and Japanese…) The LinoIt interface is easy quickly but is a little confusing at first.
Why I chose it: The color organization of canvases and stickies plus the email feature is why I chose LinoIt.
I test out the linoIt tool and it is ideal for keeping homework assignment organized. The user can change and put the sticky notes in a different location of the canvas. Another thing I like about linoIt, the user can create a group canvas. Member of the group could collaborate with each other. They can create task and place on the canvas. I will be using the tool in the future to help me to keep the focus on my assignments. Also, I have already introduced linoIt to a few people and they were also excited about using it.
