Favourite Software

If your anything like me and get a huge amount of emails everyday you will understand the need to organise the amount of newsletter subscriptions you get. Recently I have welcomed NewFire onto my computer and it has been the best thing Ive done in a long time. Not only have I now directed all my newsletter subscriptions to the program, but Ive also signed up to a world of new blogs. The program collates all the postings and I can look at them whenever I have time. I find now I actually read them instead of deleting in my mail box because Im too busy. My email box is now not as cluttered and the program was free! I use NewsFire, its simple to use and made for Mac If your on a Windows based machine and have Outlook you can set RSS feeds up in that. Believe me it makes life easier and you actually get to read some great stuff...Highly recommended!

Google Wave... it’s not email, it’s not chat. It’s something totally new.

I should warn you this vid goes for ages so you might want to skip ahead a bit.

What is a Browser?

What is a browser? This was a question Google asked over 50 passersby of different ages and backgrounds in Times Square, New York. Many responses came up...its amazing that something so integral to most people's life and they have no idea what it is.

One Number for Life

Is Google the centre of our global communications? Could be! In the next few weeks they will launch a new service "Google Voice". Google Voice will allow users to maintain a single phone number forever and maintain that number diverting it to any number that you may currently be using, home phone, work phone, mobile, hotel room etc. And it’s free, so what’s in it for Google? If it is a success it will ensure Google becomes the centre of your communications system, effectively giving them control and data on everyone you communicate with on every channel giving them a multitude of ways of monetising the system.
