Just had my grandpa visit from Colorado. We had a great time and went to my sister’s 4-H dinner/auction. Every time he is here, I realize how little we stay in touch and how he won’t be around forever even though he is very healthy now. I was looking in easy ways to stay in touch. I have family that lives in the state but an hour or more from me and some in other states. I also have a best friend who lives out of state. I was looking into ways to make it easy to stay in touch. Google has some options with Google Doc, gmail, Picasa, and Google Calendar. I found another option for the following:
Keep and Share allows people from across town to out of the country to stay in touch. When gas prices are high, it becomes too expensive for some to visit family and friends in person. With the busy lives people lead and varied schedules it makes it hard to make time to talk on the phone. Email is great because it can be done any time. The trouble is that some email services limit the size of files. With all the options that Keep and Share have, that isn’t a problem. This is especially helpful with large digital photos. A photo blog is a way to share photos and add comments and other information to the photo.
I sometimes even forget to even tell my mom stuff that is happening and we talk several times a week! With a 2009 calendar that can be accessed from any computer, I can give my mom, grandpa, and anyone else I choose access to my calendar and they will be able to know what I have been doing. Of course when family is involved, all calendar entries need to be “G†rated.
Keep and Share also works well for business because of its high security safeguards.
