If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

You can now Spy on the conversations going on on the social networks like Twitter and Friendfeed based on the term which you wanna keep an eye on.

 

This is a cool new feature. I’m not very active on Friendfeed, but on Twitter I definitely am, and I can say thanks to this spy utility, I can make and follow new friends who share the same interest on me very easily.

 

I haven’t used it to find friends on Twitter yet, because I decided to come here and blog about it as soon as I discovered. I’m sure many will like it. So, go ahead and Spy on the social media conversations :-P


Scribd.com allows you to upload and share your documents in any major formats, such as PDF file, DOC file and PPT file. The cool thing is that when you share these files, one doesn’t have to download them, they can be viewed on the website with Scribd’s own document browser.

 

Scribd Homepage

 

People are used to writing and publishing articles to article directories (like I do on EzineArticles), but this is an innovation to it. You not only publish your work to the world, but you can also get feedback from the Scribd’s community.

 

Other features include unlimited storage space for your files and the ability to embed the documents anywhere on the web.

 

The documents you share can be about anything (respectful!). It can be Ebooks, PowerPoint slideshows, music sheets, photos… just about any type of documents actually. So, go to Scribd, and start exploring their library, you might just find that recipe you have been looking for so long :)


Relax Your Mind With I-Dose’s Sounds

I-Dose logoI-Dose is the website where you can find a collection of sounds to stimulate your brain. Some of the binaural beats can help you relax your mind and improve concentration.

 

These audios are best to listen when it’s all quiet. You can just sit down comfortably somewhere and put your headphones or earphones on and listen to the ones you’re in the mood to hear. You can also share your experience with them if the audios made any difference to you, or just if you wanna thank them for providing the service.

I am an expert author on EzineArticles (EZA), which is something I would have never imagined a few years ago. The reason is because in high school, I hated writing. Actually, I didn’t hate it, but it was always so boring, because I was often asked to write about topics I was least interested in.

 

These days, I submit a lot of articles to EZA, so I decided to add their widget which displays my recent articles appearing on their website. For those who don’t know, EZA is one of the best article directories on the web, ask any article marketer, they surely will know EzineArticles.

 

Now I enjoy writing, this blog is one proof, since the last few months, I have been “chatting” so much. Obviously, I always write about topics that interest me, which is why I named this blog, Step In My Fusion World.

 

Anyways, here’s a screenshot of the widget, that you will find completely at the bottom below the MyBlogLog widget.

Your New Home On The Internet

I recently came across this cool website, which basically is like an online desktop PC which you can access from anywhere. The website is Jooce, their idea is to be the new virtual home of the millions of users who access the Internet from Internet cafes, so they don’t have to carry their software and files on portable drives, like USB drives, wherever they go.

 

Jooce homepage

 

What are the things you can do with Jooce?

  • Share files, music, photos and video with simple drag and drops.
  • Watch videos and play games from any desktop you’re accessing.
  • Connect to your instant messaging(MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM) and social networks.
  • Organize your files and contacts like you would on your personal PC.
  • And much more…

 

People with a busy online life and cyber-nomads who connect from multiple computers will love the system, it will make life much easier for them. Signup with Jooce and start customizing your individual online desktop.


Squidoo Sends Tweet Updates To Your Twitter Profile

When I introduced the WebSMS Squidoo Lens some days ago, I mentioned coming across a new(or not!) feature on Squidoo. It’s the Twitter feature that quickly(in one click) sends a tweet to your profile when you make updates on your lenses.

 

To set it up, go to “My Profile” after logging in your Squidoo Dashboard. That’s currently the 5th orange tab from the left on the dashboard. Once there, scroll completely to the bottom and you will see “Social Application Settings”. that’s where you connect your Twitter account to your Squidoo account.

 

After entering your Twitter username and password, you can test if you have correctly setup everything. You will see the following message at this point:

 

squidoo test tweet

 

Note that for this test, Squidoo will send a test message as a tweet and it will appear as follows in your Twitter profile:

 

Squidoo test twitter

 

That’s it! Very easy to setup and and you can quickly inform all your followers whenever you make updates to your lens. You will actually see this option everytime you publish your lens, just click on it and the tweet is twittered :-p


I came across this site some days ago on the TV news, so I decided to blog about it since it’s for a good cause, to help end world hunger.

 

FreeRice Homepage

 

 FreeRice is a website established in October 2007. The concept of the site is very simple actually. You donate 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program each time you get a word definition right. They have a large number of word definitions from dictionaries, thesauruses and books of synonyms in their database.

 

You are improving your English vocabulary and at the same time being a part of this good cause. It is obvious that improving your vocabulary will help you in many aspects of your life, whether it is to be more effective at your job or improve your grades in school.

 

It’s actually a smart word game, the program determines your difficulty level appropriately depending on how you answer. Each time you get an answer correct, 20 grains of rice is donated on your behalf. There’s nothing else for you to do. Once the site says you donated, then it’s been donated, even if you close the browser after a few questions. That’s not all, you can also hear how the words are pronounced.

 

The rice is paid for by the sponsors who advertise their banners on the bottom of the site. And they really do donate the rice, you can see them donating FreeRice in Bangladesh in this video.

 

I believe this is a big step in helping to end poverty in the World. Every Internet user should be part of it. All it takes is to answer some questions and you could be avoiding someone’s hunger-related death. So, please join us at FreeRice and let’s make a difference.


More Website Templates

Some days ago, I was talking about where I get my wordpress themes or templates from. Today, I’m going to talk about another cool website that you can use to find the right website templates that will fit with your website content.

 

DreamTemplate homepage

 

Dreamtemplate.com has a huge number of amazing website templates in their database. They have high quality templates, and not just website templates, but also Flash templates, PowerPoint templates, word templates and more. You can quickly and easily browse through the long list of categories on the left sidebar from the homepage.

 

For a one-time fee, you get unlimited access to their database of 1000+ websites and Flash templates, 15000+ cliparts, animations and images and lots more. You can check out the features here.

 

Dreamtemplate.com adds new designs and templates on a regular basis. Not only that you get access to a large number of professionally designed templates, but you also have the full HTML and PSD files for each template. So, you can quickly make your changes and upload the files to your server and make your website live in no time.

 

Some people pay $100 or more for getting their website custom designed. Why would one pay so much for a custom designed layout when for less than that money they have access to thousands of website templates. Among those thousands, there surely must be one that will fit the theme you are looking for. Unless one has lots of money to waste on getting custom designs and waiting weeks or months before they are delivered, web templates is the way to go.

 

A membership with DreamTemplate.com will make life easier for any business owner looking to put up a website about their business. No hassle of dealing with designers, no long waiting periods before website is delivered, no maintenance fees or update fees.

 

Now, you might be thinking I’m taking as if I hate website designers. No, I dont! In fact, I would consider myself to be a website designer. I have learned website designing during my graduate studies. Even in the office (where I work as a Software Engineer), there was once a task to design a webpage and I did that myself. But my logic (which is a pretty smart logic) tells me not to become a website designer unless I can bag contracts from the big companies. ;)

 

Anyways, that’s it from me for today.Be sure to visit DreamTemplate.com if you are looking for website templates. Who know, maybe you will find teh template of your dreams there :-P
