Top Technology Review Websites for Google Chrome

Excellent Technology review websites are what we all love and that is something which I love reading and anyone that gives me an authentic review is how I would rate them. After all what is the point of looking at a camera, apps, iPhones, software etc. on a dealers website as they will indeed say their products is the best. The only way I have learnt is that the World Wide Web is a magnificent feature in our lives. I stumbled upon a great website a few months back when looking at the best Google Chrome Tricks and Tips.

Who does not use Google Chrome after all and when you are looking back to the early years of Internet what did we do without Google Chrome. It was after all one of the very first search engines that combined an address bar and search box. Many people questioned my love for Chrome and I had to admit that I continuously look for ways and methods to improve my Chrome experience. A great place where I learnt numerous and comprehensive Google Chrome tips and tricks is called, sfbayareapaganpride.org.

What I liked about it is that they also have reviews of the latest and existing models mobile phones, apps, software and even camera reviews just to name a few. Then I could also recommend Techradar, which is very much like the previously mentioned website with in depth reviews, news, updates, tips, and tricks on all things internet and technology related. Another top website, which I used to love their monthly magazine from and ordered years ago via post, is PC Mag. I am sure if you are a tech lover you must have seen it before or even bought it. It is one of that pricey magazine which you treasure and keep. Now with the internet around us and at our fingertips no more expensive magazines instead use their website free as long as you have internet connection.

Internet Improvement Tools

Some tools are simply things we should not be without and I would love telling you about a few that I have found works excellently and you will find very valuable too. One of the top ones is IFTTT and it works by customizing what you do on the Internet, say, for example you want to use your favorite profile photo across all network such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. When you use IFTTT, it automatically changes a picture across all your media platforms eliminating lots of time spent on the web.

It also has other uses such as when you are tagged in a post it saves the picture to a Dropbox, and when you RSS an article it will text to tell you. For people who works online a lot or even spend all of their spare time online like myself for example a great option to use is F.Lux. You tell this tool where you live, what the lighting conditions are like, and what your preferred lighting options are. It will then automatically changes according to light available and it sounds simple but I have found it saves my eyes tremendously.

Then I have to tell you if you do not use Dropbox then you have to get it now. It is a magnificent space saver and you can get from 2GB and up to 18GB free storage space. It is an excellent method to save files especially in case of computer crashes and you do not lose files and the bonus is that I synchronize it with my IFTTT.

Personal Finance Management Tools

After all what can we do about our personal finances in making our lives more productive and smooth sailing too. Some of the best tools for my personal finance include my favorite called Tax Act Online and it is one of the simplest and easy to use interfaces after I have tried several others in the past. It keeps full tax history from previous years and you get an accurate estimate on return on both state and federal level as well. It is simple and the only time you pay a small fee, is when you file.

Bill Guard is also highly recommended and it is an open source product that allows you several free credit cards, as well as pricing plans too. It is excellent for credit card monitoring and since I started using it have I never had a problem. It works based on previous spending histories and if something out of the ordinary happens such as a charge then it sends you an alert. If you are looking for a free tool to monitor credit scores then I suggest you try this one. When you are due for a pull, you are given two monitoring’s free.

The Holy Grail of personal finances is something I suggest strongly to you and this is called mint and what is even better is that it is yet another free tool. It allows you to create excellent budgets and at the same time make a few suggestions if it seems impossible to stick to. It also synchronizes everything in one simple to read interface including investments, loans, credit cards, and accurate updates of net worth.

Social Media Tools

I love tools as you might have gathered by now and one of my favorites that I use especially when using Facebook is unfriend finder. I love knowing what people really think off and about me and who unfriended me without my knowledge. After all how do you know if they accidentally unfriended you, or on purpose? If you want to know when someone deletes or blocks you then I suggest you try the unfriend finder.

Another must use tool is the Google URL Builder. It is excellent when you are unfamiliar to UTM tagging and this tool is great for a quick URL that is based on what text you enter; if you want to check where traffic is coming from when you have a blog or website I suggest you use this tool in conjunction with Analytics also from Google. I also like to use Shared Count and what I might also add is that these tools I mentioned here are all free.

Shared Count is simple and great for checking social signals on a page, how many +1s, tweets, Facebook shares, and likes. Hootsuite is another tool for busy people and many do not even realize that they can indeed schedule specific Tweets across multiple channels and what is more you can tweet to multiple team members as well. It was initially focused on Twitter, but works excellent for G+ Platforms and also Facebook. It is great for simple collaboration and allows you great planning of anything you want posted.

Technology Improves Our Lives

Good day friends and fellow internet dwellers! How great is the internet after all how else could I chat to you today if it was not for the serious technology that the World Wide Web offers. After all, ever since I can remember and for as long as we have been alive all our efforts have always been directed in only one direction and that is simplifying life. Making life possible and easier for all of us. I am a bank teller during the day and at night and weekends, I love browsing the Internet.

I am constantly looking of new ways to do things; one thing I would love to do with my blog is guiding you in directions that could be helpful to you too. regardless of what your occupation or what you specialize in the intent remains the same across all aspects of life, we want to do things we have never been capable of and at the same time get better at what we do.

Using this blog as simple example when last, did you have to write a lengthy letter or phone anyone when you look at how incredibly great the Internet technology is? Long delivery times by post is long gone with fast and easy email sending. All communications are done simply by the click of a few fingers and what is even greater is that it is an instantaneous effort too. Long gone is the days of mail carriers and with Skype for example can you chat with loved ones face to face too?
