With all the cool stuff online, I can see how some of the online productivity tools can be very popular. I really don't know how much they really boost productivity, though.
All the widgets are a lot of fun and great time-wasters, but I don't see them as tools for simplifying things. I added the countdown widget to my blog (not that I'm ready to be done with 23 Things) and I found it as easy as any other html code copy/paste.
The online calendars are great. I use Google Calendar to keep my entire life organized along with the rest of my family's. I wanted to try out Scrybe, but I had to just put myself on the waiting list for it. I'm trying to find a good calendar program right now to help keep out meeting room schedulres organized. Right now, we have an old-fashioned day-by-day calendar, and it's so easy to overbook, or just have the calendar disappear of the desk.
I'm really excited about Zamzar. We don't have Office 2007 or Microsoft Works, so people who bring in files from those programs can't open them. Zamzar will (hopefully) help us out with that issue.
Overall, I think it's a lot of fun to play with this stuff, but a lot of it is a pain or a big time-waster, rather than a time-saver.
