We ended last week with me starting to mention the right-side menu in the new Google Gmail interface. It contains the Calendar, Keep and Tasks (also, a small “+” icon). It makes it much easier to get to all three items. When you click one of them they open in a side menu and you…
Those of you who follow me regularly know that I am an enthusiastic fan of Gmail. I like a lot about Google in general and I feel their email is one of the best free email systems currently available. The good news is that there is a new and improved version of the web Gmail…
I thought you may like this neat trick someone showed me a couple of weeks ago. Are you a Google Calendar user, as am I? Do you enjoy keeping track of your Facebook friends’ birthdays? If so this trick is for you. I use my Google Calendar all of the time. I use it to…
I know I have been writing about Google products for the last couple of months. Since they are the number one free email provider in the world that makes sense…for me anyway. Today we will talk about one that many have asked me about over the years… the “oops” button (my lingo). Not just for…
Rick emailed an interesting question about Gmail this week. His company uses Google’s product, “G Suite Business” for their email. With G Suite all email and cloud storage is handled by Google in the cloud. This can allow big savings in money, time and equipment for the company. I have used it before in the…
If you have followed my articles through the past 15 or so years, you’d realize that I have a love/hate relationship with Google. OK, it’s mostly love, but sometimes they really antagonize me. Today, I have two Google changes for you: one insignificant and the other very significant. First up is the one that will…
I have mentioned before that if you have an Android phone or use Google Maps on any device, your movements are being recorded. Just browse to “maps.google.com” for a peek. Once there, click the menu (hamburger, three horizontal bars) on the upper left and choose “Your timeline.” Take a look around and see where you…
This week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly. Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. CNet and Download (both part of CBS…
Over the years not once have I mentioned MMS and only once SMS (and then only as an aside). If you check with my wife and many friends it is because I just do not like this technology much at all. I find it a waste of time. Too lengthy. And then there is that…
Last week I started this series regarding things you should not do online. Here is the last part starting with something you may have never thought about. Be very, very cautious of posting online about your kids and grandkids. Say you take a picture of your kids and some pedophile sees them. Sometime later you…
