Best Free Online Services: Symbaloo

Greetings,

The way we use internet in present time’s context is a result of a incessant evolution of technology. Internet user today has become more selective, more demanding & more techno-savvy. We as the present age net-surfers won’t believe in any-goddamn-promising-offer or service; we need to have a handful reasons behind everything that goes into that particular service.  A poll result stated that around 52% of all the internet users in the top developing countries do not own a personal computer or a laptop, they use internet cafe.

Thus the internet using platforms of all these 52% users is a public-workplace which meansthe surfing environment is ever-changing. Thus arises the need to give mobility to all the frequently used services/stuff. This is to be done by storing the data online so that even if the environment changes you have like your passwords, bookmarks, web notes, startup pages, and all such stuff along with you. That’s why ‘keeping online’ is important.

Best Free Online Services: Lastpass

Hello Readers!

This is my second post of the series “Best Free Online Services”. I intend to put forth all those free online services which I personally use regularly. I am not going to sell or promote a product like most of the sales personals. Truly I don’t get anything from the company whose products I am showcasing here. The main motto behind writing blog-posts on these products or services is to help you uncover the best of the web-world…to make your e-life simple through the use of these services. You can bank on my suggestions as this is an appeal from a  service user to another service user & not a service seller to a service user. I was Inspired by a friend blogger Julius’s comment on his blog for doing a post on a service with utmost transparency & honesty. Find that Blog here.

Top Free Image Optimization Tools!

Hello Readers!

Since a couple of days I was busy setting up my new photoblog called Pic Platter. So after publishing a handful of posts, I realized that if I open the blog then, the loading time has increased, of-course it has to, as being a photo blog it hosts a lot of images, each being about 500 to 750 KB.

Q-    So what’s the solution, how can I keep the load-time low?!

A-    The answer to this question is Image Optimization.

Q-    Yes now what exactly is this thing?

A-    Image optimization is the process to compress images in terms of it’s file-size ‘without’ loosing it’s visual acceptability.

Q-    Do we really need to be this miser by saving just a few bytes for our blog? Why should we get into this complexity if the result is a saving of few petty bytes!!?

A-    Answer is Yes we do need to go for Image Optimization (& if you have a photo blog…then you can’t skip this!)

The basic reasons for why you should go for Image Optimization are ...

The Best Free Fonts Manager Till Date !!

Greetings!
A couple of days ago I was searching for a nice Font Manager, Either free or if it’s worth paid software also then I stumbled upon an old post which is still doing rounds, ya the comment list is still flowing Check that post here, 25 Font Management Tools Reviewed – Smashing Magazine.

The post dates back to 5th Sep 2008 on smashing Magazine. Going through the list I got interested in Advanced Font Viewer, Cfontpro and Suitcase Fusion. Where as Suitcase Fusion costs $49.95 or 2265 Indian Rupees. One of my friend has already purchaced Suitcase so I tried it on his laptop, the problem I found with Suitcase is first the loading time is too much, then you can’t see the font faces until you select a font from the list of available fonts box, which is not useful, I personally would like to see all font faces at a time and at least 8-10 if not all so that I can compare the fonts easily. Using CFont Pro also did’nt fared good, The Advanced Font Viewer has it’s own glitches, It has nag-screen and the overall look and feel of the software is sure to give you memories of windows 98 or may be Xp, not to mention that after these trials I literally downloaded, installed & uninstalled at least half a dozen font managers but didn’t got what I was looking for. I ask... 

“what do you actually want your font manager to do for you?!” for me I want…
