The Holy Grail of Synchronization?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 03:00 PM
The full title for this article is "The Holy Grail of Synchronization: How to synchronize Microsoft Outlook (multiple locations), Google Calendar, Gmail, iPod, and mobile phone with Funambol / ScheduleWorld", and that title sums up nicely what this article is about. Synchronization is always a dark art, and while it's pretty simple when you have one computer running Outlook and one Windows Mobile device, things get rapidly more complex when you add in more devices and services. This article covers a whole array of services - it's unlikely that many of you are using exactly that same services as he is, but perhaps you can adapt the same basic principles to your own scenarios.
Myself, I've found that using a combination of 4smartphone [affiliate], Foldershare, FeedDemon, and the Google Browser Sync Tool has let me hit about 90% bliss when it comes to synchronization. I wish some other things would synchronize across all my PCs - like my ActiveWords data file, but for the most part I'm quite pleased with the way I'm able to keep my life in sync. What about you? How "in sync" are you?
