Version 3 of the free alternate office suite called OpenOffice has just been released.

Previously, I’ve sledged Facebook for being one of the planet’s biggest time wasters. Facebook does, however, have some redeeming features. It can be good for your business growth. In any area that has a large population of users, you’ll find ways to monetise on that traffic for business and event promotion.

Now before you get into a friend adding frenzy, it’s probably a good idea to think about ‘friend organising’. Think of it this way …

Web 2.0 is really one of the most misunderstood terms floating around the Internet at the moment.

Let’s be clear here. Web 2.0 certainly is not a brand new version of the Internet. Fundementally, it’s really utilising existing technologies to benefit people. It’s a movement away from static content and towards interaction with people.

Bottom line here … Interactivity! People can upload as well as download in infinite ways.

While I’m a great advocate for time management, I still like to keep up to date with what’s happening in the areas I have greatest interest in.

Ever thought how much time you waste on repetitive tasks when using your computer?
Simple things like just running your programs or typing the same thing over and over can really add up in terms of time waste.

I know I easily get side tracked so finding software that increases my productivity is a good thing. (Does that mean I get more time to waste?)
And as an added bonus, I’m going to give both a Windows and a Mac version of the applications covered …

The Areas

What's Internet Marketing?

Marketing is an endeavor to sell something to someone. Basically, it is trying to convince others that they need whatever it is you're selling, whether it's a principle or a product, and that they need to get it from you.

I am often asked for a recommendation on web hosting services for both my clients as well as associates.

Having been the Asia/Pacific Technical Support Director for Webcentral for over 9 years, I've got some experience from both an operational as well as a customer service and provision point of view.

I've used just about every computer operating system under the Sun (no pun intended....OK, maybe a small one). DOS. Desqview, OS/2, Linux, Windows 3.1, Windows95, WindowsNT, Windows2000, Windows XP and now there’s Windows Vista. I’ve even installed and checked out BeOS - not many will have heard of that one.
