Cloud Computing

Remember the internet toaster? It's time has almost come with the advent of The Cloud.

The Cloud, for the most part, is just another name for the internet. The difference is that it refers to an internet full of online applications which have replaced those on our own personal computers.

Here is a great video of an interview with three techies. The show is The Agenda and the host is Steve Paiken.

How To Archive Email Automatically

Set up your email to forward every email you send or receive to a Gmail account.

You do it in Outlook Express by creating a rule. Tools > Message Rules > Mail. If I could do it, it's easy. Or just press Help > Index and enter "rules".

Problem: All of your junk mail, and I have plenty, also gets forwarded.

Solution: Chuck sez: don't worry about your junk email going to Gmail since you'll be accessing the stuff you need using Gmail's search function which will wade through it quickly.

From: I Hate Your Job. Here's another from The Chuckster with a gimmick that makes it hilarious.

Google Records Your Searches

Although I knew that Google was recording my searches, tucking them away on some server somewhere, I never really worried about it. Maybe I should have....

In response, Brandt created a site called Scroogle, which allows you to query Google anonymously and returns search results without ads or other Google ad-ons.

The Value of Sourcing Technology

Animal: Amybeth told us that technology can really speed up the process by automating something that she would do on Google herself. Do you agree with that?

Suzy Tonini: Yes. There are some tools that do help out immensely if you have a lot of searches and you don't have a lot of time.

Animal: The key is not that they can find more people than you can on your own but that they will do a lot of the tedious, heavy-lifting for you, is that it?

Suzy Tonini: Yes. You can do some overnight searches and the next morning you can have some results in your inbox.

Animal: Amybeth, do you agree with her on that?

Amybeth Hale: Yes I do

Harry Joiner: The learning curve on some of these products is very high, do you agree?

Suzy Tonini: Yes.

Amybeth Hale: It takes time to learn it. If you don't take the time to learn it, it's going to be useless to you but if you take the time to learn it it's a very valuable thing.
