Today we get to see part two of the 2009, Double Click review. Sit back, relax and browse the web for the sites that interest you. As always, if you prefer clicking to typing please visit the DoubleClicks.info site and read the column later the same day it is published in the paper and actually click the links.
Here they are in their order of their appearance with short descriptions if needed.
- WalMart.com and Costco.com, these need no explanation; although, I wrote about their specific ability to print your vacation photos online.
- Picnik.com, an online photo editing program.
- Picasa, a site where you can download a photo organizational tool to edit and store digital pictures but you can also upload them to Picasa online to create photo albums. (Our vacation photos shortened, http://bit.ly/lJgaF)
- Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows, an excellent blog about MS Windows products.
- MSNBC news & information site
- CrossWalk, a Christian study, blog, information site, etc.
- RonDoyle.wordpress.com, my boring blog which is pretty much in no way related to my columns.
- WordPress.com & WordPress.org, two sites for creating your own blog (There are differences between the two.)
- Hulu.com, an online site where you can view movies and many current TV shows for free.
- Firefox (mozilla.com), today’s best internet browser (in my opinion).
- Microsoft Office 2007 discount (TheUltimateSteal.com), the entire MS Office program for students at a much discounted price of $59.95 (as of the date I wrote this…it may not last long).
- Bing.com, Microsoft’s new online search engine.
- Google Earth, a great mapping application.
- MMTaskbar, extend your task bar across multiple monitors.
- Desk Drive, allows a desktop icon to appear when you plug in an external drive, including thumb drives.
- MS Live Workspace & Google Docs, two similar but different free online file storage sites.
- Google Chrome, Google’s internet browser.
- Evony, free online role playing game.
- Gutenberg.org, Audible.com & Podiobooks.com, three online books sites which have text and/or audio books for free and/or a price.
- Medicalert.org.
- Go to My PC, a site that allows you to login to your home/work computer from another location.
- Team Viewer, similar to above but free and not as stable.
I hope you have found the two "Year in Review" columns helpful! Don’t forget to keep those emails coming in 2010.
