Become a Gmail Ninja

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Gmail is far and away the best online email management system out there right now. But a lot of people still use it like a regular email service, never touching some of its power-features that can really help with email overload. So Google launched a new Tips area of the site today to serve as a reference point for how to become what it calls a “Gmail Ninja.”

I have just achieved Blackbelt and all my email accounts have been migrated to Gmail now, I can tell you it works like a dream and I am definitely not missing Microsoft Outlook one bit.

Why not try it yourself?…Become A Gmail Ninja! Or Look Like A Huge Nerd Trying :-)

Where is that backup when you need it?? We have all been there, when we need that backup the most it just not there or upto date. Some of us have an external harddrive, but honestly do you really keep it up-to-date day by day. Avoid the hassle of backups and still stay safe. Dropbox is a new and great Cloud Technology option for all your PC users out thereand those of you with less the 2G of data backup it is all free. Dropbox is so simple to use, backup your important files, share files or even use it to synchronise multiple computers if you work on two or more machines.

Here is how it works, a small folder Icon apears on your desktop and you simple drag the documents you need backed up or are looking to share with others into that folder and like magic it gets syncronised onto your online Dropbox account. Now your can access your documents anywhere, anytime and even share certain documents with friends or collegues. Works like dream, so simple…try it out!
