Back in the days of paper books, researchers and serious book readers would always need a note pad handy to jot down relevant and important moments within the text so that it was simple to find those passages again later. Either that or there would be tiny scrawled hand written notes in the margins of the book itself. It used to be quite exciting to buy a second hand book and have someone's detailed notes explaining certain moments and drawing attention to other significant passages. In the 21st century and with the popularity of the eBook at an all time ... Read more
Here is a health and fitness app that doesn't come with any weight loss guarantees. It doesn't magically transform you from overweight to lightweight overnight nor is it a mind expanding instant answer to your dieting problems. What it is, though, is a well thought out companion to your weight control program that can give you the same dietary help when you are on-the-go as when you are in the comfort of your own surroundings at home. UControlWeight helps you keep full track of the calorie content of the things that you eat during the day by parking itself on ... Read more
A few years ago I tailored my skills as a writer by writing a blog for a video and DVD organization but I would spend half my time researching interesting information on what I thought my reading audience wanted to hear.

Inbound writer is an Internet marketing app for writers to optimize their online content and gives them a much clearer vision of what their viewing audience is talking about ... Read more
One of the things that sets the biggest sporting teams apart from the also-rans in their field are their rabid supporters who will support their team through thick and thin. NFL has the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, New England Patriots and New York Giants, baseball has the NY Yankees and the LA Dodgers, basketball has the Lakers and the biggest of all - soccer (or football, as it is known in most territories) has the Spanish clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona and finally, there are England's Manchester United and London's famous Arsenal. Formed in the 19th Century, Arsenal - or ... Read more
I've been saying for a while now that having much more than a couple of hundred Facebook friends almost turns into a full time job trying to keep up with the numerous feeds.

If you are a writer in the 21st Century it is a damn sight easier and cheaper to get your work published and 'out there' to your potential adoring public than ever before. The romantic idea of the tortured author taking his manuscript from publisher to publisher, possibly striking a deal and then waiting for it to be printed and published is not the only way to get your story across. The rise of the kindle has created an online marketplace where readers are avid for more online ebooks and I believe Amazon sold more ebooks than the paper equivalent ... Read more

So have you ever built your own website or even thought about putting one together?

This is fine for big business but, if you are a small business or a creative professional, that's often not an option. Plebu is a 'software as a service' web design and website creator that makes it easy and cheap to ... Read more
