Day 4: Great Web Office Experiment
It’s day 4 of my “Great Web Office Experiment” – the quest to discover how practical online tools really are for carrying out the everyday business tasks of a UK non-profit organisation.

Given global warming and the novelty value that snow now holds for us in the UK, the 3 inches of snow that fell overnight in the capital was enough to bring public transport in London temporarily to a halt, close schools and cue headlines of ‘commuter hell”.
So this is as a good a time as any for me to work from home and test the potential of my web office toolbox to get through my everyday tasks of email, calendar, bookmarking sites and writing up documents.
However, a cautionery note – whilst web 2.0 tools are great when they work, the downside is that there are still serious questions to be asked about the lack of contingency for service outtages. David Wilcox points me towards the problems that Steve Borsch has been having with his web office setup.
