Last week I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Steve Bristol and Allan Branch, the founders of Less Everything. Our company uses both Less Accounting and Less Time Spent, two cloud based, small business applications that the duo has developed. (Disclosure: I would make love to both of these apps if they were women, and Melissa would approve). It led to a lot of great internal discussions regarding my proclivity towards cloud based business apps.
I am a massive proponent of cloud based technology for a variety of reasons, but namely because that's where I feel we're headed so why not dive in head first now. I decided to post a video talking about why I'm big on cloud computing, which cloud based apps I use, and of course why I feel these applications empower workshifting.

What cloud-based apps do you find useful for your day-to-day needs?
