Recently CPU Magazine did a poll of their writers and asked us what utilities we use to enhance our life. I gave my list.. What's on your desktop?
What’s On Your Desktop? Here are my choices:
PhoneTag (PhoneTag at www.phonetag.com, Prices vary). PhoneTag saves me two to three hours a week checking voicemail. It simply transcribes all my voicemail from all my phone numbers and emails the text and WAV file to me. Talk about awesome!
Skype (Skype at www.skype.com, Subscription-based). Seriously, this is the best tool for making an impact via videoconferencing. As I usually work from Canada, I tend to use it on a daily basis to speak with people in California.
Firefox 3 (Mozilla at www.mozilla.org, Free). I cannot believe how awesome Firefox 3 is. It makes browsing a pleasure.
Facebook (Facebook at www.facebook.com, Free). Yes, Facebook. There are over 150,000 people at my work. Facebook is a great way for me to meet people within the organization, not to mention other people in the industry.
Xobni (Xobni at www.xobni.com, Free). Where did these guys come from? I believe God sent them to make my life easier. If you use Outlook and you keep all your email, this program is a lifesaver! You can instantly search emails in seconds. Seriously, this is like Google for Outlook . . . on crack.

Thanks for the tip on Xobni. A real useful program. Asked our IT to install this on every computer in the department.
FF3 is a good browser but there is another browser that sure gives it a run for its money Opera web browser.
Opera developed most of the feature found on todays web browsers. it was the first to use tabs and speed dial and was second to introduce mouse gestures to navigate the web.
With a built in email client and the safest most secure web browser to date. it also features full intergration with your mobile [see opera mini and opera mobile for smart-phones].
Opera offers business solutions to companies to increase effieceny and ease. [see business colutions]
I use Opera on my phone and my computer and its all syncronized with eachother. you couldn't ask for a better web browser
the only way to browse the web.
To find out ALL of Opera's featres and capabilities please visit
www.opera.com
im not in any way affiliated with Opera Software im just a avid user.
I forgot the mention that Opera has intergrated Face Book into their browser to make browsing the web and staying in touch so much easier.
All of Opera's features are really cool and useful Speed Dial is really good but you should check out the rest at www.opera.com
