Products I’ve recently recommended
Filed Under designs I like
This week has been utterly crazy. When I finally sat down and thought about it, I realized I’d given five product recommendations in a very short period of time.
The first was EverNote. Their PR department asked to talk to me about my experiences with the product, and then asked if I could be used for future promotions. I live by my EverNote, so naturally, I agreed. It was the first time thatI realized that I really do use EverNote as my personal information manager. I keep so much in there: to-do lists, resources sorted and grouped, writing ideas, website development plans, grad school plans. I think i even have some recipes hiding in there, all ready to be located by a simple search!
The second was my favorite wine as I gained a wine steward. For those aware that I’m developing a “What a girl needs” list, a wine steward was not on the list. Gaining this one was pretty fun, and I’m happily awaiting the arrival of my happy wine!
Numbers three and four were for a coworker looking for a birthday present for his girlfriend. She enjoys writing, so he wanted to pick up the book I’d been raving about earlier in the week. Remembering how much trouble I had finding the book when I actually wanted to buy it, I recommended another excellent writing book to him.
The fifth was Oregon Chai, which happens to be powering my blogging this morning. My roommate has apparently been looking to try chai (And yes, Mom, it is technically dried. I have the powder mix!), and failed to mention this to me sooner. I warned him that I tend toward a smooth, less peppery chai, and made him a mug. He enjoyed it! This may mean I’ll have to guard my chai now, but I’m glad to have converted someone!
At this point, I’m comfortable suggesting products to people. I think it goes hand in hand with my love of connecting people to information. It’s really much the same thing!
