iPhone AppStore round-up - iPhone Atlas

iPhone AppStore apps round-up - iPhone Atlas

Note2Self...

Anth,
was just reading Ed Dales twitter which led me here...
more about the iphone and neat secretive things, check it out soon.

Man doors are wide open on this iphone apps gig.
Think there will be some extremely cool and powerful tools and many fun things to keep us occupied for any boring moment in time. More reason to move everything online .. everything.

Can see the day, pretty soon, wont need too many software apps to do the mainstream stuff on your computer or mobile phone, it will all be or is available online, thanks mostly to Google.

From calendars, notes, mail, feed readers, bookmarks, (loving delicious integration in FLOCK right now), absolute Business power tools. Been lifesavers for me as have tried so many methods. The real power shows as you integrate them into your Business communication for project management, outsourcing and the like.

I am now, finally now it's stable, using bookmarks as a powerful project management tool now that delicious integrates so well with flock. Very functional, allows a smooth workflow, that's crucial.

Used Foxmarks, powermarks and heaps of others for syncing between a bunch of pc's but they all eventually have let me down with the syncing eventually. This is a big backward step as l have lost hours at times getting bookmarks re-organised. Bugger.

*** Late addition, l just noticed Foxmarks a firefox plugin, has a new? feature that stores several versions of your bookmarks historically, excellent. I just restored an old set l was using before moving totally to delicious. Now must go upload it....

Anyhow,
Thanks for pushing the barriers Googsters and all the other web properties & people (teams) making the web what it should be. Fun, Useful, Productive, Profitable .... not to mention closing some of the real big communication gaps (gapping big gaps) between country's & continents alike.

I believe if anything will ever bring Humanity to a fairly level playing field so to speak, it is got to be the internet and the communication, super fast communication it affords us. Of course this can only be so where people can afford the necessities to use the net. Computer or Mobile & Internet access.

So the further we get down the road of tech goods like the Iphone and similar devices, hopefully, the cheaper they get allowing more people to access this speed of communication many take for granted.

Fast Dial Firefox Add-on

Fast Dial :: Firefox Add-ons


Hmmmm, never realized how powerful this little baby was until messed around with it and read 'the details'.

I have set it to 15 x 12 boxes on the fast dial screen, with thumbnails and l can create groups and
drop dials in there by dragging and holding down the control key.. (like bookmarking)









Ok, it is really good but needs some basic functions like save, backup, export settings.
Like most things, you can end up with a lot of data in there which is trapped if you have to manually move it to another profile/pc/user, whatever.
Nobody likes a closed box system.

Still prefer delicious plugged into Flock browser for bookmarking but this is nice and visual and good as a Dashboard for related wk on the go.

I also am testing a new extension called webmynd. very visual, excellent potential.
It records all the pages u visit and you can review and search it.
Not sure it will replace bookmarking but sure l will find it powerful in research.

back to work..... later.

FireFox, U never let me down, BUT ...

... see late edition at the bottom of post ...

Dear Firefox, my ole trusted buddy,
your new Cousin is so much more friendly.
Sorry.

Lets me talk to ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME !

SOoooo cool.

Now before you go and get the wrong idea dear Firefox,
you must know who I'm talking about, ... right ?

Why FLOCK Browser of course...

Social as any good browser ShoulD be.

Should ...

b
e

Built on Firefox 3 code too, so must have some powerful features.

I found it Here My New Favorite Browser ... Flock.com

Ohh h hh , and the person who put me onto it, Ed Dale,
has also put up some videos on how to use it masterfully
on his training site.

I found that here. 'Learn how to use Flock & other training'

Anth, take note,
June 2008 is when u went full monty onto Flock.
I am transferring all my Firefox data today into Flock.. it's already mostly done.

Sad kind of, been on ff for some 4 or more years.
hmmmm wonder how many years before someone comes out with enough value in their browser for me to move over ...

.... late edition, FireFox you'll be happy.

I have found a good use for both of you, Flock and Firefox.
Flock pimped with Productivity plugins / addons.
Firefox as a bare bones browser for banking and such.
Feels like a smarter way to go.

Anthony Roger ;-)

Gmail Manager Firefox Add-on

Ok, I am testing
Gmail Manager :: Firefox Add-ons
and it looks functional so far .....

Actually, very cool,
it logs into both gmail accounts, AT THE SAME TIME, yeah!
Testing it in Flock. So far so good.

Strangely today l briefly looked at a program called 'Rapid Reader', gotta follow up on it too.
It helps you read PDF & other files quickly, speed read in fact, by dislplaying text in a contained area.

Guess what, this little email program does a similar thing. U can set it to show snippets of your emails as it logs in........ I like it and it's only been on my machine for 5 mins..

Highly recommendable so far.
