Thanks for stopping by. Here are the things I’m noodling on this week. I share a whole lot more things like this on Twitter and save the better ones over in Diigo.
Guru
Guru is a browser extension that facilitates knowledge sharing among teams. I’m giving it a try to see how well it works. If it’s successful I’ll share more details later. If you try it out for yourself, I’d love to hear what you think.
PollEverywhere
I’ve talked about PollEverywhere before and have been a fan for some time. Now it’s available for Google Slides and it is even included with PowerPoint on the iPad.
Google Slides
If you use Google slides, check out this Chrome browser add-in for PollEverywhere.
PowerPoint for iPad
Microsoft now pre-installs Poll Everywhere in PowerPoint on your iPad. If you’re up to date you’ve got it. It’s right there in the Add-ins menu.
Duarte Diagrammer
This isn’t new, but it resurfaced for me this week and it’s definitely worth sharing. Pictures are worth a thousand words and finding the right diagram can be life saver. Choose from more than 4,000 customizable diagrams and download the free PowerPoint®-ready file to enhance your presentation.

Wiselike
Wiselike provides a web-based platform that allows users to sign up with their full credentials and expertise to share their knowledge with folks who have questions. These experts are invite-only, and users who wish to be experts can ask Wiselike for an invite to become a knowledge sharer. Got any questions for me? My page is here.
Why Write Excel Formulas When You Can Flash Fill?
Flash fill is great for so many things beyond basic number and date series – especially, when it comes to cleaning data.

I like PollEverywhere too, but am thinking of replacing it with Zeetings.
Hi Ryan! What is about Zeetings that has you leaning that direction? I’ve seen it but haven’t taken a closer look yet. Sounds like maybe I should.
I’ve only dabbled with Zeetings for the moment, but it has a clean interface and is easy to use.
I love my PollEverywhere! Never heard of Zeetings, I’ll have to add it to my list along with Wiselike. That one was new to me. Leave it to you Mike – always giving me that one nugget… :-)
