HootSuite - oneforty


I admit that I have not been on TweetDeck lately, but now that I have found HootSuite I doubt I will be going back. The reasons why I like HootSuite better are numerous. Examples include: being able to schedule tweets, its web-based (nothing to download), you can even managed multiple Twitter accounts, shorten URLs, and also gives you many statistics that the service keeps for you once you sign up.

Poll Everywhere - oneforty


Here is a great tool for posting a pool just about anywhere on the Internet in real-time. It seems like something I have to try. You can post poll questions and get people to respond by texting from their phones or tweets from Twitter. The results can then be updated. You can display the results real-time on your website\blog as a widget and you can even get it displayed as graphs and lists on a Powerpoint slide! Next presentation I have, I'd like to use this!

Android 2.0 Support in the SDK


Here is a great post on the new Android phone!

Android 2.0 is now being supported in the SDK. There are a large number of things to highlight about this change, but I’ll just point out a few of them.

* Multiple accounts can be added to a device for email and contact synchronization, including Exchange accounts. (Handset manufacturers can choose whether to include Exchange support in their devices.)
* Developers can create sync adapters that provide synchronization with additional data sources.
* Exchange support.
* An improved keyboard layout to makes it easier to hit the correct characters and improve typing speed.
* Refreshed UI with actionable browser URL bar enables users to directly tap the address bar for instant searches and navigation.
* Support for double-tap zoom.

And that’s just to name a few of the highlights. But go ahead and watch the video to see what’s really going on for yourself.

Google Wave is a real-time communication platform. It combines aspects of email, instant messaging, wikis, web chat, social networking, and project management to build one elegant, in-browser communication client. You can bring a group of friends or business partners together to discuss how your day has been or share files.

6 free remote desktop sharing and screen sharing solutions

yuuguu
Probably my favorite because of it’s ease of use and the fact that you can use it to remotely access your PC or MAC also! Yuuguu is completely free and allows you to instantly share your screen with anyone. Works well through firewalls also and on MACs.
crossloop
CroosLoop is also very easy to use, but requires that each party install the CrossLoop software onto their computers. Uses 128-bit encryption and allows for file-sharing also.
logmein
Another popular service for remote desktop sharing. Easily access remote PC’s by installing a client software onto each machine. Good for remote PC trouble-shooting, etc.
showmypc
A good free tool for online collaboration, desktop sharing, and remote PC access. No registration required, no logins, very easy to use. Uses SSH to make connections to other PC’s.
skyfex
SkyFex allows remote watching and remote control in real time. Does not require additional software installation and works transparently through NAT and Firewalls. Only for IE though.
teamviewer
TeamViewer has a couple of features, such as remote control of PCs, screen sharing, file transfer, chat ability, and is secure. Have to install the TeamViewer software for it to work.
screen stream
A free software that lets others watch your screen in real time. No need to install any software, which is a plus. Works with Windows, Mac and Linux.
You can use all of the applications for all kind of activities, such as boardroom presentations, group lectures, remote PowerPoint presentations, computer helpdesk, whiteboard for telephone conferences, etc.
If you know of one that I missed or think is better, post a comment! Enjoy!
