- I try to keep the same username
- I choose different passwords everytime.
- I keep all usernames and passwords in my Gmail account

For the later, I simply email myself with the website’s name as the subject and I include username & password in the email’s body. I find it to be the most handy way of managing usernames & passwords! And Gmail is part of Web 2.0 too anyway…

As this article on online identities explains, there is no good solution yet.

I currently use secret naming conventions to remember passwords.

I agree with you. I will add an entry into the Office 2.0 bug tracker.

An Office 2.0 question: I am using several of the tools you recommend such as Salesforce.com, Zoho, Streamload, etc. How do you keep track of usernames and passwords? Is there a Web 2.0 or similar tool that you recommend?

PS: I just love salesforce — the more I use it the better it gets.

Thanks!

A read/write browser should allow you to take content from one place and put it in another with little pain. Browsers already do that in two different ways. If the data is small, you can put it in a link. You’re moving content every time you click ‘Tag This Link’ with del.icio.us. If the data is big, you need to save as, browse, upload, and delete local copy. There must be a simpler way.

Say a friend emails me a picture. I want to remove red eyes in an online photo editor, then upload to my Flickr account. It should be a simple matter of moving the photo around without the labor of managing temporary files.

A browser extension is the best way to build the feature first, and then add it to the browser itself.

His demo showed “collaborative editing of the same document (over the network) in two different editors. Two people, one in Firefox and one in OpenOffice Writer were editing the same document in real time.”

Because Open Document is truly open, Firefox and other web browsers can be extended to read and write Open Document files while they remain in their native format, hence no need to import or export anything.

I, too, avoid installing Office at all costs, and resorted to downloading and sending myself an attachment in Google Mail.

Does anyone else encounter frustration working with teams that demand you use Office (specifically .xls) and don’t quite embrace the Office 2.0 paradigm? What do you do in this situation? I ran into this wall myself yesterday!
