My next tool that I want to highlight is Evernote from www.evernote.com
Its a fantastic FREE Tool to keep notes in. You can type notes, record notes, keep images etc.
You can load Evernote to your PC and Your Phone and then Synchronise all together in one place simply by plugging your Phone into your PC.
So, if for example you are walking around and something pops into your head, you can simply launch Evernote on your Phone and record a short message or type a note in and when you get home and check your notes or Synchronise to your PC. You will never forget anything again.
You can also organise notes into different Notebooks, so you could have a notebook for work and one for your busy personal life.
The following is a quote from the Evernote website "Put your thoughts, ideas, inspiration, and things to remember all in one place. Use Evernote for work, for play, and for everything that’s noteworthy."
It really is well worth trying out.

No.1 Tech tool for Business
Ok The first Tool that i think is really cool is blueface.ie.
For just €9.99 + VAT per month you can get a local number anywhere in Ireland.
If someone calls that number it rings through to either a Landline or to a VOIP Phone free of charge. You do pay to forward to a mobile.
You can control everything from a control panel. Well worth looking into it if you travel a lot or are out of the office a lot.
You also get a Voicemail facility and an email is sent when a Voicemail is left.
So go to www.blueface.ie its well worth looking into.
I will post more tech tools in the coming days.
