Say Goodbye To Picnik And Welcome Google+ Photo Editing

Google quit killing our favorite web apps! OK, that may be a little over the top, but it is definitely what it feels like as Google continues to buy out companies and integrate their services only to squash the original company. We have seen this happen with blogger, picasa, gtalk (many others I am sure) and now with Picnik. This cool free photo editing site is going to close on the 16 of April and if you want to use there service from now until then, you can get the …

Facebook Timeline Finally Lands

 
Well, if you are computer nerd or a social media guru, you most likely knew this one was coming some time ago, just not when.

Google Docs Powered By MS Office!

Yes, there are a lot of reasons to love both Google’s and Microsoft’s office suite’s. These two big players have a huge amount of features and automation options that allow web masters, freelance writers and bloggers all to take advantage of some seriously productive tools. Google has now released a tool that I think has a lot of potential and might be the bridge that MS Office fans have been looking for to allow them to slowly but surely migrate all their work to the cloud.
The new tool is called …

The Death Of Digg

You all the Digg.com web site. This is the one site that sparked the growth of social bookmarking online. Digg had a simple concept, people who love online stuff, want to share it with others and they were absolutely right. Some people would have thought that the major abuse of this site by marketers on the internet would have been its downfall after time, but it turns out that they may be their own worst enemy. If you are not a avid digger then you may not be aware of …

Blogger Brings New Themes To The Table

Yep, blogger has brought some new fresh looking templates to their site and it’s about time, if you ask me.  With so many huge free blogging services out there, it is about time that Google brings a new look and some new options to their users.  It was not to long ago that they did update a few of their already existing blog themes, but this just allowed for some very simple variations of the same “old” blogger templates.  They really did not look much different, but it was a …

New Google Search Format?

The standard google search has been pretty  much the same since it’s inception.  I know that some factors are slightly altered by logging in to a google account or you can use the features on the “more options” to give some more specific search restults (which is a nice touch by the way) but I ran across something I have never seen before today. Or rather, to be more accurate, a friend of mine in the Philippines did.
The new Google search results page that you can see below, is now …

Twitter Finally Chooses Monetization System

The long awaited twitter advertising system has finally landed.  I have blogged about it a couple of times, so I thought I better share the twitter love here too.  The new Twitter “Promoted Tweets” system is not really what most of us expected.  It really was kind of a let down in many ways.  The new monetization system from Twitter will give big name advertisers yet another way to get their messages to consumers.
The big move in online advertising has been pushing network marketers, internet promoters and advertising professionals of …
