A new way to blog
How to create glittery graphical blogs on the cloud
I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing blogs on my beloved Samsung NC20. Blogs are a great medium to express our views. The normal way of reading and writing blogs involves adding text and some images. Recently while digging through cloud based applications for my netbook, I came across Glogster.com, which redefines the blogging technique with a new concept, 'glog'.
The latest Buzz
Sharing personal updates with hundreds of known and unknown people through Twitter on my notebook is a great pastime while traveling. I loved to do the same with my Google contacts too. But I was not very interested in Google Talk for the same. With Buzz, Google has filled that void. I have been checking out Buzz, which works like a combination of Twitter and Facebook. Let's explore Google Buzz here.
Rate movies on the go
If you ask me about my favourite hobby, I'd say "watching movies"! I love watching movies, and ever since I got my Samsung NC20, I watch movies even on the go. Before I watch a movie, I'd surely check out its reviews to know what others think about the movie. I also rate and review movies to share my views about the movie with like-minded people. My favourite website to rate movies is IMDB, but recently I came across a similar website with additional features. It's Flickchart.
Schedule tweets with ease
Twitter is not just another micro blogging tool, it has now developed into a professional marketing application. It is easy to make most of your multiple Twitter accounts through desktop apps like TweetDeck. However, I found that Twitter desktop clients consumed a lot of processing speed and space of my netbook. So I decided not to struggle with hefty desktop apps anymore as HootSuite offers better tweeting experience and great features right from a browser.
Multimedia editing on the cloud
How to edit photos and videos on the cloud on the go
Last week, I had been to Mysore and Ooty with friends to spend my Christmas holidays, and had a great time. To capture those joyful moments, I had carried my digital camera and my beloved Samsung NC20 with me. I stored all my photos and videos on my netbook and when I came back home, I wanted to share them with my buddies. Before uploading them on the Internet, I wanted to edit them and add some stunning effects. Thanks to 'One True Media', I was able to do this without installing heavy software on my netbook.
Enjoy Flash games online
There are times when you are completely tired after a long hectic day and just want to relax by listening to some delightful slow music or by playing some simple games. Most of us like to play Flash based games or social games on Facebook and not those of hi-end strategy games. Check out this huge collection of Flash based games on Scumlabs.com.
Virtual hard drive on the web
I prefer my netbook and notebook to my desktop due to their portability. However, I still store my vast music collection on my desktop to avoid overloading the tiny hard drive of my netbook. If you are using one of those first generation netbooks with only SSD option, you still don't have to worry about storage, you can have a virtual hard drive Filebox with 500 GB space for free, which is much higher than a notebook's hard drive.
Automate your tweets
I recently read a shocking news about a young girl dying of electrocution in her bathtub while trying to catch up with her tweets. She had reached out to plug her charger with a wet hand. Weird! People are really getting crazy for Twitter and Facebook. A friend of mine was Facebooking at three in the night. I do share a passion for Twitter, but can’t ever imagine myself giving up sleep for Twitter. So I just schedule my tweets to be published at a later time with Social Oomph.
Bookmark in 50 websites
Social bookmarking websites are an excellent resource for news and I have my personal favorites such as Digg, Stumble Upon, and Slashdot. Although bookmarking in different websites takes a lot of time, it is an essential part of promoting your content online. It gives your website the much required exposure and increases the traffic. I too hated the hassle of submitting links to multiple websites earlier, but not anymore as SocialMarker can automate the process of bookmarking for me.
Surf the web privately
I often travel on work with my colleagues and share my netbook with them. However, I like to ensure that I don't leave behind traces of my browsing activity on my netbook. At the same time, I don't like to burden my netbook with hefty software. I was looking for an application to protect my privacy on the net, which is also easy on my netbook, when I came across this simple system tweak. Check out how to browse the web anonymously by activating the privacy mode of your browser.
