few posts in now, i'm doing better than i thought i would at blogging. the web's pretty useful as it is, but i find myself using these services more and more so figured i'd pass them on.
first up here's a few google services you may not have tried or heard of. most people probably use more than one computer every day/week/month so you want to be able to access the same stuff on all the computers you use. cloud computing is gunna become more and more popular so might aswell jump on the bandwagon now. if you find something of interest at work and wanna take a better look at home later a useful tool is google bookmarks. basically it's a list of favorites you can access from any computer once you log into your google account (which everyone has by now right?). another advantage of using this is if your computer does go pop and you lose everything at least this way your bookmarked porn site's are safe :)
along with this you also have google docs (free ms office online basically) and google notebook - which i find myself using alot. i guess all this is pretty useless if you only ever use the same computer, but if you don't (like me) hopefully you'll give them a go and like them.
ok enough google ass kissing.
you know when you hear a new song you like and wanna get it on your ipod. this ones a good way to go. once you know the artist and track name (probably through shazam or another phone alternative) chances are the song your after is on youtube in some form - i mean c'mon what isn't these days. point your browser here and download this free app for windows. once you've installed it just give it the url of the youtube video with your song and it'll download and convert it to mp3 - perfect!
this ones another music related one. if your ever been on someone else's computer who has either no music or just an awful taste in music head over to http://songza.com. it allows you to create playlists of youtube videos. so instead of going track by track of all the songs you wanna listen to you can just go here make a small playlist and leave it on shuffle. ideal!
anyway, that'll do for now. if you know any other cool online services like these that you find useful gimme a shout.
