"Admit it—even if your desk could be the cover shot for Organized Worker Monthly, your data is all over the place. Between desktop apps, online networks, and webapp tools, it's easy to lose track of data and duplicate tasks, simply because it's not all accessible, or it takes too much of your time to keep it all synced up and together. Conduit, an in-development program for the Linux desktop, makes it simple to link your web data, desktop files, and other information all together, then synchronize them all with a single click. Follow along as we check out how Conduit works, peek at its potential, and try out a few examples (and solicit your own clever ideas)."

"DropBox is a new synchronization service that works seamlessly between Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X clients. With it, you have a specific directory that is synchronized between various systems linked to your account. By dragging a file into this special DropBox directory, it will be automatically pushed to every other system’s DropBox; remove a file and it will be removed from every system. This can be used to share documents, configuration files, photos, music, or anything else you want. Beyond synchronizing files between linked systems, you can also access files via the DropBox Web site."
"Dropbox is a cloud storage service with really smooth native platform integration on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. The Dropbox client software will automatically keep files synchronized between multiple computers and the user's Dropbox web storage space. It detects when files are modified on the local filesystem and will immediately upload the changes. The web service then propagates those changes to all other computers on which the user is running the Dropbox software."
