Bing: The Reason why people can’t find anything in the Windows Live Writer forums

1vlxyhpkI like to try to spend some of my time visiting the Microsoft forums for Windows Live Writer to help other users get information to help them do better for figure something out; it’s just something I like to do. But simply doing a search on the Windows Live Writer forum is not going to help you that much.

But also, I report each month on how my site is doing and who makes the most crawls on my site and who refers to me the most.

The common issue here is BING.

Microsoft Outlook Steals Performance

outlook stealsI’m not going to argue the point that Microsoft Outlook is a very popular email client, and it’s the most used, and desired, function of Microsoft Office, but I think at what cost are we using it?

Microsoft Office/Outlook 2007 is not my email client of choice, but I’ve to use it at work. Every job/office I know of uses Microsoft Outlook for their email clients and typically the machines Microsoft Outlook was loaded on was not a supreme machine.

So how’s this really productive? It’s not.

Xobni for Thunderbird [early with SOCIALMAIL]

xobni for ThunderbirdXobni has come on the scene like gang busters providing what seems a basic function that been should’ve been there and has been over looked for so long. It’s the perfect email client data miner.

Xobni has exclusively developed for Outlook. Microsoft must really be loving that the Xobni crew is putting so much effort in to Microsoft Outlook, but at the same time they have shunned the open source community.

And as I’ve always said, necessity spawns invention.

Thunderbird now has Xobni with SOCIALMAIL.

So Your Using Internet Explorer… Not So Smart.

death to Internet Explorer

I wonder when I see the stats on the usage of the most popular browser on the planet and shockingly it keeps coming back Internet Explorer; it’s simply staggering.

I’ve inquired with many sites about their trends. Some websites offer their stats right out there on the cuff; you can see everything- all kinds of stats on websites and I rarely see Internet Explorer as a dominate browser.

This just sparks curiosity… about the wisdom of those users…

Download Follow-up: AUTOTEXT

autotext who

Almost a year ago, I posted an article about an autotext program that was free and it was really good, in the aspect that it was from the same people that created PhraseExpress [Gunnar Bartels] group.

It was an excellent option for people that just wanted a quick, down and dirty option for doing autotext’ing in just about any application in Windows; it was portable, simple and fast.

When I went back to checkup, but something changed…

Raindrop Mobile Progression on my Head…

raindrop screenshotRaindrop is a concept that should be worth while to anyone and there seems to be a lot of work going on over at Mozilla on getting something developed to handle these influx of information.

The fact that the whole process and application is web-based is encouraging. This ensures the application of this type of functionality and being able to use it through a mobile device is a very nice effect.

It’s exciting to see this progress…

Installing Adobe Flash on Ubuntu 9.10 – Just works.

Ubuntu just work

One of the first things your going to need with Ubuntu 9.10 is FLASH player. I’m still not real happy with Ubuntu and Adobe on this mess; it’s just stupid.

How in the world is a new person to Ubuntu to understand half the gibberish crap about terminal commands, the tweaks to get the FLASH player installed?

While the Ubuntu forums are swarmed with them… this is what I did, it worked and it was painless in comparison to going to Adobe’s website to install the latest .DEB.

Making the comparison: Replacing WinZIP with 7ZIP

money winzip Can everyone agree that ZIP is a standard now?

I think it’s a standard now. It’s basic functionality was built in to the Windows XP Operating System; you could open ZIP [compressed] files without doing anything.

I’ve an associate that absolutely swears by WinZIP. It’s the end all be all of file compression and all he really uses it for is opening ZIP files.

If that’s all, then there’s better options.
