An online resume is a crucial part of your personal brand because it helps you directly connect your experience to the niche you’re interested in. While About.me and Flavors.me provide a basic overview of your skills and interests, an online resume service should also let you display samples of your work as a proof of…

Personal branding has been a hot topic on the Web for quite some time – you must have at least heard of the phrase. Many are writing about it, some are thinking about doing it, and then there are the few who actually practice what they preach. In the next three articles I will present…

Over the course of the 90s and early 2000s, it became clear that the home office was a far more viable option. Now, however, we’re ready for the next step; a home office may not be necessary, since you can carry all the technology you need in your pocket. We are, of course, talking about…

Neck and neck with Apple iOS in the world of mobile operating systems, Google Android is attracting millions of new users each month and its excellent app selection is growing wildly because of it. No matter what you need to do, you can be sure that there is an Android device and app that can…

As the web evolves, the ways of using it evolve with it. We’re long past the era of total uniformity when it comes to accessing this information wealth, but there is still much room for personalization and improvement. Our browsers give us a basic view, defaulting to the most common usage case, but there’s no…

It is shocking how few truly simple task management apps there are out there. Most to-do list programs are overly complex and work on an advanced productivity plan that is ironically more time consuming than what it would save. For a long time I have just been using my phone’s memos to make lists, because…

Want to go traveling but scared of the costs?  While traveling does have its expenses, there are ways to save money when you’re traveling and make your trip go further.  It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the trip and just go with the flow, busting your budget and costing you more…

Some people on Twitter follow celebrities. Some people follow imaginary characters via fake profiles made by other fans. Some people follow their family members and real life friends. Myself? I follow fellow geeks in the technology field, ones that I am so impressed by that they might as well be celebrities. As far as I…

I don’t know about you, but my mobile web reception sucks. Sure, it works in most places I spend my days. But it is slow, unreliable, and if I am out of town? Forget it. I might as well be trying to surf the web on a freaking rock. Because of this, my love of…

In my everyday life I find that most people have a Facebook account to keep in contact with friends and distant relatives but it’s not unusual for a particular person to choose not to use Facebook at all. In those situations I normally turn to Twitter to see if they have an account there. 9…

While it has been slowly creeping into the online consciousness for quite some time, Reddit really exploded on the scene about two years ago. It all started before that point, when Digg redesigned their site and it proved to be the nail in the coffin for many users who had long since felt alienated. They…

Not everyone is a book lover, no matter how many times they give it a shot. Let’s face it, reading just isn’t for everyone. While I am an avid reader, I have many friends who haven’t picked up a book since high school and just have no interest in doing so. Their hobbies reside elsewhere.…

Despite the character limit and the apparent impracticality it causes, Twitter has become a serious platform. These days people use it for job hunting, content marketing, creative discussions, or simply to expand their networks of both private and professional contacts. You don’t have to be a power user to recognize the value of an efficient…

I remember back in elementary school we used to have these papers called Brain Teasers. They would show a number of pictures that corresponded with some kind of word or phrase. I always really liked these puzzles, and sometimes I even found them challenging. So when I found What’s The Saying years later, an app…

This blog will be a little fragmented and I apologise but it’ll will be legible all the same. This blog as you can tell is about backing up. I backup everything to about 12 different places and I try my hardest to keep everything in sync. I am going to list the main reason for…

If you do any research online then your going to spend a lot of time in the search engines. I wouldn’t even like to count the hours that I’ve spent on Google. Most of the time when people search for something they use a standard keyword search. You type a couple of words into the box, press…

As I’m taking baby steps into the blogging world, I’m always looking for interesting and useful tools for freelancers. Recently an online portfolio app called enthuse.me caught my eye. This London-based startup was founded in 2012, and the app is still in development. Enthuse.me offers a beautifully designed, simple yet slick interface, and promises many…

I am a habitual non-charger. One of those people who always has a bar or less on their phone, media device or laptop. I never remember to plug it in, and I am so used to hearing that little warning beep when my iPhone is about to die that I sometimes think I hear it…

With over a million mobile apps available today (and hundreds more coming to the market every day), how are you ever supposed to find the apps that will actually make your life easier? Not to mention, you can waste up to a hundred dollars downloading numerous $2-$5 apps, and still not have the right type…

“Living in the browser” has become a common thing due to an increasing number of online services that are able to adequately replace desktop applications. Since we spend so much time online as it is, it’s more convenient to do all the work directly in the browser, instead of launching several separate programs. We can…
