Zapproved Helps Groups Make Decisions

Zapproved is an application that helps you get approval for a project or event from a group of people.  It’s all done “email style” and allows for you, as the planner, to get a simple yes or no from people you’re working on a project with.

The first step is to create a proposal of what decision you need an answer for.  The proposal includes a title, due date, project title, priority level, and description.  You can also attach files to a proposal.  Then you just need to enter in email addresses of the people who need to approve your proposal and wait for them to respond.  Your recipients will receive an email where they can choose to approve, deny, or simply comment on your proposal.  In your Zapproved account, you’ll be able to track who has responded and choose to close or cancel the proposal.

Zapproved will also archive all of your proposals so you can find them later and store all of your contacts each time you add someone new.  To learn more about Zapproved, watch the screencast below:

Make Your PC A Little Greener With Edison

Edison is an application for Windows that allows you to control the amount of energy your PC is using during specific hours of the day.

It requires a download (28MB) and then you can choose how much energy you want to save and set a schedule of when this should occur.  You can enter in the hours during the day you’re normally working on your computer and the hours when you’re not.  Then just set the energy saving levels for each schedule.  You can adjust the settings for how long to wait before turning off your display, choose to power down the hard drive after a specified amount of time, and have Edison suspend, not turn off, your computer after a period of inactivity.

Edison will also show you an estimated annual savings on money, energy, and carbon dioxide.  To see what Edison does before you download it, watch the screencast below:
