This will be the last week of our look back at the links we talked about in 2016. After that we get back on track with more good tech news and information. So here we go with the October through the end of the year columns.
- OneNote.com, one of the best (secondary) applications that Microsoft has ever come up with. If you are researching, planning or taking any type of notes you should check it out. Online and downloadable versions are available and it comes pre-installed on Windows 10.
- Google Keep, keep.google.com – This is a great note-taker for short notes where you can set alarms for times and locations if you also use it with your phone and PC.
- iTunes.com, Apple’s music player app and you know it well if you have an iPhone or most any of the other Apple products. You can also use it on a PC for your music.
- Amazon.com, Hulu.com, and Netflix.com, three of the most popular video streaming apps/sites for TV shows and movies…current ones, some in the past and some only produced at those sites.
- RevoUninstaller.com, a much better program uninstaller for your PC than has ever come built into Windows. It has extras, too, and I have actually bought this one (you know how I do not like to spend $.)
- WinDirStat.net, a program that searches and tracks your hard drive usage helping you decide what you may be able to remove. Sorts your files by size, number and type.
- Microsoft Games, rd.dblclx.com/2evl0en – Yes, they make games also and not just for Xbox.
- Steam, steampowered.com – Probably one of the largest gaming sites out there, some free, some not so shop around.
- Duolingo.com, a site where they say you can learn a language (choose from over 20) in just a few minutes a day.
- MultCloud, multcloud.com – First make sure you spell it correctly, there it is no "I." This site allows you to combine all of your online cloud storage areas in one site. Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. All there.
-
The following are silly, unimportant, and relaxing sites. (I posted these after the 2016 Presidential Election). Take a look at them and see what they do or look back at the November columns and read about them first. Akinator – en.akinator.com, MyFridgeFood.com, Rock-Paper-Scissors-Game.com, WeirdorConfusing.com, PointerPointer.com, ThisIsSand.com, TheInternetFireplace.com, GeoGuessr.com, YouTube.com and hmpg.net.
- Here is a list of some reputable online sites for purchasing… well just about anything. I am sure you have heard of them all before. Audible.com, Ebay.com, Overstock.com, NewEgg.com, PayPal.com, VistaPrint.com, Blinq.com and ShopGoodwill.com.
- Facebook.com, you know the site and basically what it does. Last year we looked at some of the security settings you should check on your account. Next week we continue looking at that topic. Go here to review with that column, rd.dblclx.com/2hVbumC.
