Business Processes, Task Management And Automated Workflows

When we group related tasks together to produce a specified outcome, such as a product or delivery of a completed service, we refer to this as a business process. There are 3 broad categories of business process, and we shall outline them here.

Management Processes

Management processes will typically include control, monitoring and reporting functions to ensure appropriate oversight and stewardship of the business or organization.

Chrome Apps Jolidrive Thoughts (Video Included)

The application we are going to look at today is called “Jolidrive”. I won’t lie when trying to make a script for this application I couldn’t think of a single thing positive to say. So in this video I decided to do a live approach of this application to show you what I meant about how it was hard to talk about. But don’t be discouraged; this article still has a mouthful to say about the video and the application itself, so keep on reading if you’re interested in what this application is all about.

Laza Lists for iPhone - Productivity App Review

If you have been looking for a way to improve your organization, there is a new app out there to help you do it. Laza Lists is a program that was designed to offer a more visually pleasing, clean way to keep track of everything from do dates to appointments. It is socially compatible as it allows you to easily send your lists via email.

Since it syncs to iCloud, you are able to better keep track of data without manually putting it in. So you can update it or view it anywhere, from your computer to your mobile phone.

Improvements I would like to see made to Squarespace

I have been a fond user of the Squarespace platform currently and in the past on my old 'JonnyisGeek' website. Though I have had a great experience so far, I would like to see some features being generated into the mix.

• Threaded Comments and Forum Posts - It's hard to reply to a certain user in the comments. There is no 'reply' button and yes, you may be able to @username them within the comments, but they don't get alerted about your reply.

• Social Buttons - A social widget has been out for a while now, but if you want to customize the list of networks you're on with images, you need to find those images and code them into your website. You could say, well website owners have experience with HTML, CSS and the rest of it, but some don't. As you could probably tell, some website editors are used to applications like Dreamweaver and iWeb, which Squarespace doesn't require you to use.

• Podcast Hosting & Playout - I've only recently started podcasting, but I would love, and it would benefit Squarespace so much, for them to host podcasts and define a player for them to play on. Websites such as TWiT and Revision 3 would benefit, as they are podcast and vodcast networks and bloggers like myself would benefit as sometimes posts can't be put into written words, images or video.

• Squarespace Version 6 - This hasn't been spoken about since Squarespace developer, Tyler Thompson tweeted out about it in September last year. Yes, nearly a full 10 months ago. It would be great to fork out a whole new management system and see if not all of the features spoken about in this post, some as it would attract more and more people into using Squarespace instead of using cheap, unreliable hosting.

Let me know your thoughts and let's see if we can get this post passed around some of the Squarespace team and developers.

Send this out if you would like to help.
