Need to get 12 people in your mastermind group on the phone at once, but having trouble finding a good time for everyone? This handy, easy-to-use tool can help! You create a simple "poll", showing potential times/dates. Send the resulting link to your attendees and let them vote, while you monitor the replies. Choose the best fit and you're done! Can also be used as a simple polling tool for other purposes. Not as full-featured as other survey tools, but it's also a lot easier to use.

Need a way to receive faxes, but don't want the expense of a fax machine and an extra phone line? eFax is the answer. I've had this service for several years now, and I love it. When a fax is sent to me, I receive it via email. I can then read and print it if choose! eFax offers a free trial, and after that it's $12.95/mo. Or, if your fax volume is low, you can receive up to 5 faxes/mo. for free!

Free Voicemail -- eVoice

Fri, 27 May 2005 14:59PM ET

This unique service offers a lot of choices. Need a dedicated phone line for one of your products? Don't want to get a receptionist, but can't afford voicemail either? Get your messages delivered via email!

eVoice offers two options. The free option gives you a private phone number (not local) and 20 minutes of voice messages, sent to you in a special format via email. Download the special free player to listen to your messages. The plus version offers more goodies for a monthly fee, including a local number, .wav files for more flexibility, the ability to retrieve your messages by phone (when you can't get to your email), and even text messaging to your cell phone when you receive a new voicemail. A very cool service by the same company that brought us eFax!
