Twoogle.com Here's a good way to search booth Google and Twitter at the same time. Twitter is becoming more and more popular and can help you enhance your network, perhaps faster than Google can. Both have their value. It's useful to search both at the same time. For tips on analyzing and improving your network, see my blog networking success.
You can now add an image
directly in your email using Gmail.
An image, like the arrow above, can now be
inserted directly in Gmail using the new
"insert image" feature. To do this in Gmail,
click "Settings." Then click "Labs" and scroll
down to "Inserting Images." Click enable.
Then be sure to click "Save Changes."
Using Gmail for Task Management
I reallly like the new Task Management feature in Gmail. To enable it, click Settings. Then
Labs Scroll down to tasks and click enable.
Then scroll to the bottom of the the window and click save settings.
"Tasks adds a to-do list to Gmail. After adding the lab, click the Tasks link above the chat box on the left-hand-side of the page. Your task list will appear on the right – click anywhere in the list and start typing to add a task.
You can also create a task from an email: from the More Actions menu, choose Add to Tasks when viewing an email, or press shift+T if you have keyboard shortcuts enabled. For more shortcuts, explore the Actions menu at the bottom of your task list"
Google Voice
Google has a wonderful free phone service. Among other things, it can transcribe messages left on voice mail, so you can read them in email! It's not available to everyone yet, but now is to apply! I am currently using it and it works great. All long distance calls in the USA are free! I recently called Japan it worked great! Cost was 20 cents for a 10 minute call. Actually, this call was free, because Google gave me a credit of $1 as an incentive to get me started making international calls.
Apply for your Google Voice account by clicking here. It will be available to the general public soon.

Email Marketing.

Twitter. Twitter is a simple fun system for staying in contact with your friends or business associates. It can also be used to market your business. The trick with twiiter is to "follow" others who have similar interests. Many of them will then follow you and you can help each other.

Gmail Priority Index. It love the Gmail priority inbox. It's like a reverse SPAM filter. It automatically pulls out your most important email and puts it at the top in a special priority section. Google even cheers you when you read and archive all of your important email. You can teach Gmail what is important and guarantee that certain kinds of email will always be marked important. Gmail is so good I can't believe some people are still not using it.
Extra cash for your pocket. Take online surveys and make a little extra cash.

New Google Stuff -- Google is giving out Google Voice invitations theses days after a 18 month hiatus. Apples (one of our members, got an invitation!) Listen to voice mail in email. With Gmail and Google Voice, you can listen to your voice mail directly in Gmail and also view a transcription of the voice mail. You can also have a text message of your voice mail sent to your cell phone. YouTube -- if somebody sends you a link to a a YouTube video, you can watch it directly in your email without having to go to Youtube.com. To use these advanced features, click settings in Gmail and then click Labs. Next, you need to enable the feature and then scroll down and click save.

Free Virus Scan at ESet.com. This is a free virus scan I highly recommend. It's also recommended by other geeks, like Leo Laporte. It finds and removes viruses, but the free version doesn't protect you against future infections. If you want, you can upgrade and get full protection at a very low cost compared to other anti-virus programs. I was very impressed with technical support, which will respond to your questions even before you buy the pro version.

Expense Reporting Xpenser.com is a useful and currently free website for keeping track of your expenses. You can even record expenses by phone using something called Dial2Do --see bekiw. Record expenses by Email, iPhone, SMS, Voice, Twitter, or IM. That's a great way to capture cash expenses that might otherwise slip away. You know how hard it is to keep track of all those little receipts! Think of the money you'll save by recording all your expenses.
Dial2Do.com lets you do common tasks by just calling a number and speaking. You can use it with your cell phone to send EMAIL or TEXT messages, record REMINDERS to help you remember things, post updates to your TWITTER or JAIKU stream and LISTEN to your favourite internet content. It's easy and handsfree...
Dial2Do is currently free, but I imagine in the future they might start charging for it or for some add on features.
I tested dial2do and it worked great. I registered and then called the dial2do number and said, "Reminder" and then dictated a few reminders using my cell phone. The reminders then appeared online and looked like this:
I tried the email feature and it worked great. I sent an email by speaking into my cell phone and dial2do transcribed everything with 100% accuracy. Amazing.
