A feed reader is supposed to speed things up. You don’t have to visit the blog to read what’s been published.

That’s how mine started and somehow I have managed to collect over 2000 feeds which I have categorized along the way:

  • Advertising
  • Affiliate
  • Blogging
  • Design
  • Developer
  • Forums
  • Internet Marketing and Make Money
  • Money (finance)
  • Productivity and Freelance
  • SEO
  • Social Media
  • Tech
  • Thinkers
  • Upcoming and Memes
  • WordPress
  • Writing

Wakoopa, Find Software You Never Knew You Needed

Posted by & filed under Software.

Wakcopa LevelThis is now one of my favorite sites. It gained that status over the weekend.

I like software. It is responsible for most of the work I actually get done. Without it, I would have to do everything manually. Other people use employees to expand their business. I use software.

Every now and then I hunt for software. A tool I need. Sometimes I find it and sometimes I don’t. And sometimes I have 54 options.

Software is supposed to save time. But sometimes finding the right tool can take a lot of it away. That’s where Wakoopa comes in.

TidyFavorites: Bookmarks and More

Posted by & filed under Software.

Not another bookmarking tool. That’s what I thought at first. I had finally settled on delicious as my tool of choice. I can save, search and archive. Much better than a bunch of folders hanging out on the toolbar of my browser. But TidyFavorites is different.

TidyFavorites

At first, I thought this tool looks like the home page of Chrome or Opera, where your bookmarks are laid out as screenshots on a grid. Humans are very visual and this can make finding your bookmarks easier. But TidyFavorites does much more than that.

My wife’s Inspiron 1525 has always been a bit possessed. It looks nice on the outside and does the job, but it is a bit clunky. We couldn’t beat the price though.

Tonight, it just wouldn’t turn. It would start up. The white timer bar would go across the bottom of the screen. But then only a white flashing cursor on the black screen would show. Okay.

My FireFox Addons

I like testing things by seeing if they will break. You might find me running nine different programs on my computer at the same time. Every time processors became faster and more efficient, I just loaded them up more.

I had a tendency to do that with Firefox also. This is one reason I run multiple browers: Flock, Firefox and Chrome. Flock is the one I use most of the time and it is one with the most addons. If you are not using Firefox or Flock, you are missing out. Change now or the rest of this post is not even worth reading. Browsers with addons take away the need for a lot of extra software.

Pushing Tin and SEO – A Post About RankSense

Posted by & filed under SEO, Software.

I am writing this post tethered to the wall by a cord. I have a laptop but the battery is a year old, lasts about 10 minutes now and I am waiting on the new one to come in the mail. I didn’t order it when it still lasted a half hour. I waited for the 10 minute mark.

The pay periods at the various affiliate programs I sell for dictate my work schedule. As a period nears the end and I have taken off on a new project for while, I snap back just in time to kick the money up enough to keep the machine going.
