    Dropbox: Going Beyond Storage

  • Too Busy To Read It Now? Save It For Later with Instapaper

    As a writer, I do my best to stay current by reading every website on the Internet. Yes, I set my goals high. But thanks to my existing social life and personal endeavors, I am not always at home with my computer and Internet connection readily available to me. Believe it. That is why I…

  • TweetDeck for Chrome is a Flexible, Lightweight Version of its Desktop Counterpart

    TweetDeck Desktop is arguably one of the best desktop Twitter clients for power users. It offers endless columns of information, multiple account support, and many features that Twitter itself had to copy. This app can basically do it all, and might even be getting purchased for $50 million by Twitter. My only major complaint is…

  • Convert Web Pages to PDF, Quickly and Easily

    Even though we live in an increasingly digital world, many people still can’t let go of paper.

  • How to Profit from the AT&T/Alltel Merger

    Now that AT&T may be acquiring T-Mobile, their acquisition of Alltel in a few states since the Verizon/Alltel merger is old news. By now everyone has pretty much figured out the jig.

    If you’re like many of my Twitter friends, or about 70% of the Techerator staff, you have a default Twitter background. There’s nothing wrong with it, unless you want the same unique look as 80 million other people in the Twitterverse. There’s the option to cruise Google or Bing for wallpapers large and shapely enough…

  • How to not suck at Facebook Questions

  • Dealing with Workflow Failed On Start (retrying) errors in Microsoft SharePoint

    I don’t know why I expect SharePoint to work without problems. In almost every project I’ve done, some unforeseeable problem pops up that seems to make little sense. Maybe, after beating my head against the wall so many times, I’ve developed SharePoint amnesia, but I always expect the project to be a pleasant experience. I…

  • Share files the easy way with Ge.tt

    Remember the old days of sharing or transferring files when you had to put them on a floppy disk or a USB flash drive to move them between computers, or to pass those files to a friend or colleague?  The method worked, but only if you were moving files a few feet away. Even so,…
