If you have the need for a personal diary or journal, or an internal corporate blog or FAQ, LuxSci’s Blogs WebAide is an ideal solution. Blogs WebAides allow you to create any number of personal or collaborative Blogs with zero setup and zero software installation. Blogs are accessible via LuxSci’s WebMail interface or using RSS feeds.
LuxSci’s Blogs WebAide were previously called “eJournals”. The new name better represents the many features associated with a blog.
LuxSci has completed the major re-design of its WebAides collaboration tools; a final installment brings all WebAides up-to-date in terms of functionality and the user interface in both the Full and Xpress WebMail portals. The project to modernize our collaboration suite began more than one year ago. Of course, “final installment” is a misnomer as the job is never done — periodic feature updates are scheduled.
LuxSci has re-written its web-based Password management interface from the ground up to provide users with a fast, modern, featureful experience. The WebAides Passwords user interface now matches that of WebMail, Address Books, Calendars, and User Groups in AJAX-based Web 2.0 speed, data caching, and usability.
The Passwords WebAide provides:
PGP-Encrypted online storage for all of the user names, passwords, and related information that most people have in abundance for logging in to countless web sites and devices. Every entry is separately encrypted using PGP. The PGP certificates are imported by you and/or generated by LuxSci. There is no need for the passwords to these PGP keys to ever be stored on LuxSci’ servers. This is a secure online solution.
Shared access — you can have detailed control of who in your account, if anyone, can decrypt and access which passwords.
Associated encrypted notes and attachments with each password so that you can store additional related information.
Consider LuxSci’s WebAide Passwords to be an “Online Lockbox” where you can securely store and share all of your passwords. This Lockbox can be accessed from anywhere that you have Internet access. The major changes that come along with these user interface enhancements include:
LuxSci has updated its web-based User Group management interface from the ground up to provide users with a fast, modern, featureful experience. The User Group WebAides user interface now matches that of WebMail, Address Books, Calendars, Tasks, and Passwords in AJAX-based Web 2.0 speed, data caching, and usability.
User Groups WebAides are very useful in a collaborative environment for:
Sharing WebAides (i.e. calendars, files, etc.) or email folders with groups of users instead of or in addition to individuals.
Encrypting individual entries (i.e. files or passwords) such that any group member can decrypt the item, as long as they are a member of the group
Creating email distribution lists so that it is easy to email everyone in the group.
The major changes that come along with these user interface enhancements include:
Tagging items has become one of the hallmarks of modern web applications. Delicious and FireFox allow you to tag your bookmarks, Facebook lets you tag people in photos. Flickr supports tagged pictures. Blogs permit you to tag your posts. The list goes on and on.
Tags are incredibly useful because they enable categorization of items in a dynamic and natural way. Items can have multiple tags and you can make them up yourself as you go, so that they are meaningful to you and in the context in which you are working.
The odd thing is that tags are not yet very prevalent in most mainstream email programs (except perhaps Gmail) and collaboration tools like contacts, calendars, etc. This is where LuxSci jumps in. LuxSci has had full tag support since June, 2007; in recent months, tagging has become easier and more powerful due to updates to our GUI (graphical user interface).
LuxSci has released several improvements to its WebMail and WebAides user interfaces that add to your productivity and are more user friendly and powerful. The most significant changes include:
