Refollow is web based application (startup) which helps you to mange all your twitter friends and followers. It is very easy to use. I like this web application, because I had a problem with deleting more than 300 followers (there where some reasons) and it would be very hard to do it manually. So I discovered Refollow, which helped me with this problem it done it automatic and quickly.
I also liked that this web application has very good search system. For example if you want to find all those people who you are following, but who doesn’t follow you, so all you have to do is tick a checkbox and it will automatically show them and you will be able to delete them from your following list (unfollow). It also has an option to see non active twitter users, so you could unfollow them.
I like that this web application has option to select all and select a page, because it sometimes is very handy. It has a lot of other useful for twitter management tools, so go and see it closer, I suggest.
What i didn’t liked about this web application is that it has some problems with counting all your followers and friends. For example you have 280 followers and you click show all followers it shows 260 (in total) So where are those 20? It’s a small bug, if I can say that (maybe it’s only on Chrome?) which doesn’t make any disadvantages of this web application at all. Also I noticed that everything is little bit to slow, of course it could be my internet connection.
I also noticed that when you are in this application you can’t logout from your twitter, maybe it’s for all twitter applications?
Best of all this web application is free of charge and to login in it you can use two methods: login with twitter account and Twitter OAuth.
Have you ever used Refollow? What did you liked in it ? and what don’t?

On October 22 Microsoft has produced and started shipping to stores their final version (fully functional) of Windows7. It even was number one sealed products on Amazon. Everybody was waiting, how it will look in final, what’s will be new, etc. Many was saying that it gone be more powerful and faster than previous operating system (Windows Vista).
As always there was few editions of Windows 7 and prices also where different. So let me present them.
| Name | Windows 7 Ultimate ($219.99) |
Windows 7 Professional ($199.99) |
Windows 7 Home Premium ($199.99) |
| Improved Desktop navigation |
Yes | Yes | Yes |

| Domain Join included |
Yes | Yes | |

Via Microsoft.com
As you see the best choose for all jobs would be Windows 7 Ultimate edition, because it has all the options which you need and even don’t need. But if the price of it is to high for you I suggest to choose the Professional edition, because it has Windows XP mode included, which will help you to run all your Windows XP programs.
What I don’t like about this versions is that 35 languages which you can switch are included it the expensive version. It’s very hard to new computer users to understand what to do and any other language which they understand could help.
And also I don’t understand why they need these versions, it would be easier if they had one version in one price, so people don’t need to think which is better or worse for them, they just buy the one and that’s all no headaches for them.
The Windows 7 it self
Now it is time to look and talk what’s new is in this operating system.So let’s begin. 
This is the new desktop, first what you gone notice is the start it has changed little bit. Microsoft added some opacity to it. Now all your running windows from the same program are collected and hide in the icon of the program. It is hard to understand, but when you will see it you will get the point.If you don’t like this option you can change it in the start menu and taskbar performances it is easy to do.
Also the minimize window function has some animation (something similar like in Mac) You will find also new option which will help you to compare different information, all you need to do is drag one window on another and they will be maximized for easy comparing. When you drag over the minimized window in taskbar it will show you a screenshot of the actual process what is happening there, nice and interesting feature.
Everything has and opacity effect which we all saw in Windows Vista. Now it is easy to change your computers theme, desktop background image or screensaver. To do it you just need to go to personalize option and choose one of many preinstalled theme packs or even download some new online. I think it’s very useful option for everybody who want to see their Windows 7 different every day.
On Windows 7 you will find many (more than in Windows Vista) useful and also funny gadgets for your desktop, so you can monitor your email, time, computer etc. Unfortunately on my system they are sometimes slow (don’t know why, but it is)
One cool and very beautiful (don’t know is it useful) feature is the 3D program switching, which where also in windows Vista, but it was very hard to find it there. Now it’s situated in control panel and can be switched on and off. So if you have good graphical card and about 2GB of Ram you can use it as in standard.
I want to mention one interesting feature in this version of windows. It is called voice control, you can find it on previous versions too, but now it is better. It allows you to write, start programs, do any kind of commands with your microphone and voice. To try it got to your control panel, then select point ease of access and then Speech recognition. I suggest you to take the basic tutorial which will teach you how to control your windows with voice. Also notice that it this tutorial windows is learning your tone of voice. I tried this function and it was pretty hard to do anything, but I think it is because of my english accent, but you can give a try it’s fun and easy
This are only few new features of new Windows 7, which I discovered and tried. There are lot of secret features in this windows, so search for them and also post your findings in comments, please.
Is it working faster?
In the last section of this article, I want to talk about the speed of this new operating system by Microsoft. They said that it will run faster that previous versions of windows, and I think that it was also main reason why many users didn’t like windows Vista. So is it really now working faster?
I think it’s little bit faster, but not so many as Microsoft said ( maybe it’s because my computer isn’t so new?) but any way I just don’t see where is faster? Of course if we compare the minimum system regiments for Vista and Windows 7, we will see that it needs less powerful machine. But in my opinion it isn’t making this version of windows faster. It’s maybe more combinable with older computers. But it is also the bright side of it, you don’t need expensive hardware to run latest windows.
This are only my thoughts about Microsoft’s new operating system Windows 7.
What do you think about Windows 7? Have you tried it? What you liked and what not ?
What I am thinking about the serial?
I as human, who is interested in filming and script writing can say that this serial is just fantastic. The most important thing which saw watching this serial is that it is simple. It does not have anything which is hard to understand, ok only the medicine terms, but if you watch this serial often you start to understand these terms, because they are revising all the time. And you even do not need do understand them if you want to watch this serial, because it is interesting also without the understand them. If I compare with other medicine serials, that I can say that it is hard t find or there no exists a similar serial, but maybe I haven’t seen all the serials about medicine, but I still think that the idea of these serials is unique and incredible. I have seen few episodes of “ER” and I think there everything is happening very fast and it is hard to understand what the doctors there are doing, but in “HouseM.D”, everything what is happening is explained from the medicine opinion.
About the doctor House
Lead in this serial is playing Doctor Gregory House, the real actors name is Hugh Laurie. I think the personality of Doctor House is just fantastic, I think there are no words to describe this personality, but anyway I will tray. As may know Doctor House is an petulant and egoistic person, who thinks only about himself. And it is because he is limping. But still he is a smart doctor, who knows a lot. But the general difference, between this and other serials is that this is not only bout medicine but here also are inserted some people feelings. I think that everybody, who is watching this serial, knows some of the phrases, which are saying Doctor House and almost always they are funny.
About other persons in this serial
In this serial are many persons around the hospital and Dr.House. I think that they also play a responsible role in this serial. One of my favorite persons after doctor House is Dr.Forman. (Omar Epps). I think that he is the biggest heater of Dr.House. He is as good person, coppering with Doctor House.
If we speak about other persons, who are participating in this serial, then they also are as a balance between them and Doctor House.
First when the 4th season came up, I was disappointed, because there weren’t the old his team characters, I know that they quit from working with doctor house in the last episode of 3rd season, but I just wanted that they participated also in the 4th season. But after few episodes of 4th season, I started to like this all and when the Dr.Forman come back to the team it was again perfect.
Overall
This TV serial is one of the best I have seen. And it has amazing screenplay. Every episode I watch with interest and I know that there always will be something interesting, serious and funny. I like the personality of Doctor House and Hugh Laurie is a brilliant actor, I think it would very hard to find another actor for this roll. Everything in this serial is in the right place and it doesn’t need anything else. Now on TV screens we can see 5th season, which I think it shows that the serial will continue and will have ten seasons, which would be great.
My mark for this Serial is 9.9/10
Should I write more about tv serials and similar things? Which tv serials do you watch?

Nintendo Dsi comes in two different colors, white and black, so you can choose a color which is better for you. I have white and using it for this few weeks it hasn’t became dirty, and if you are afraid only for that, then it’s not a problem for it.In front of it, it has a 2 megapixels photo camera and nothing more is there. On the left side it has volume plus and minus buttons; on the right side it has a place for stylus and SD card slot. In front of it you will find headphones jack. In the backside of it has two left and right photo buttons, also a Nintendo Dsi game card slot. In down side you will only see the place where the battery is kept.
When you open it, first what you see are two screens, there are also power on and off button, gaming joystick and 4 buttons, with which you can play your games, also there are two buttons called Start and select.
Interesting fact, I think is that only one, of two screens is touch sensitive- it’s the one which is situated down side. Between those screens you will find also a second camera and a microphone.
When you first turn it on you will see a warning about health and safety. Secondly you will have a short setting up process, where you will need to take your photo, set the time & date and some stuff like that. When you will be done you will see your photo on the upper screen and the Nintendo Dsi menu on the second screen.
One of the disadvantages of this system is that on the first time you launch it doesn’t have any games, and only things you can play are your photo camera program and sound recording program – that’s all!
If you purchase it till October 2009 you will get free 1000 points, which will help you to get some games. So, to download a game for this system first of all you will need to setup your Wi-Fi connection, you will be easy to do it with given manual. Once you setup it you must go to Nintendo Dsi shop in the menu and there you will be able to download free programs like Flip note and opera web browser. There you can also download games which costs points, but as I mention before you will have 1000 points which you spend in games you want to download.
Once you have downloaded a game it will appear as a present in the Nintendo Dsi menu, once clicked it will open and you will be able to start playing. And also notice that the shop is not available for some countries.
Gaming graphics are not as beautiful as in PSP, so consider also this fact. Also what I have noticed while playing is that if you play a long time your hand will hurt, because it’s not comfortable portable gaming system in my opinion.
Using it for those few weeks I have feeling, by opening this tool that it will suddenly break, so keep in mind this.
By using the opera web browser for this system, I noticed that it sometimes links just don’t click. This web browser also doesn’t play any videos or audio files, it’s also very hard to use for social networking, and it just can’t handle with lots of information.
The battery, when fully charged can work for 9-14 hours it all depends on what brightness level do you use
In overall this system has some disadvantages, but if you are looking for portable gaming system I suggest you to look at PSP, because it has little bit better game graphics and it has also some other entertainment features, which Nintendo Dsi doesn’t have.
Which portable gaming system do you use? Why?
Of course, there are also lot of reasons why you shouldn’t blog, but let’s leave this topic for now.
(Photo via: Eriding.net)
Help others: The major thing why people are blogging it’s giving some help for those who need it.
For example, if you know a lot about website building, why not to share your knowledge with others, so new web developers could build good websites and make the web even better.
Your blog is like open and free encyclopedia for everyone, who is on the web and you are as author of it.
Get advice: My motivation for blogging is to learn from my readers, so they all turn their comments like a book of advices for me.
With your blog you can also ask for advice, for example in a blog post and if you will have some readers they will help you to do it.
Find new contacts: Blog also can help on finding new friends or even partners.
For example if you write your blog about gardening and one or more readers likes your thoughts or if they don’t agree with you, they will write their comment’s and if the discussion will be very interesting you can try to meet up with your reader and you can become friends. The same situation is when finding a new job partner.
Another example, you write about computers (hardware and software tips and tutorials) and one of your readers have broken computer and he understand that you can fix it for small price. So it’s a way how to find new clients.
Make your writing better: If write your blog for a long time, your writing skills will be better. I tested it on myself and it really works.
It’s very good for collage students, who are writing essays and other writings. It will also help you to express your thoughts more clearly.
If you are going to be a journalist, blog will help you to test yourself-can you be a good journalist or not.
Make money: This is the reason, which everybody likes in blogging. In now days (when the economical crisis is) everybody want make some extra money and I think that blog is new (for beginners) opportunity to do that.
Many of you think that it isn’t realistic to make money by blogging, but us a true example I can mention Darren Rowse it’s a guy from Australia, who makes money only by blogging. So if he can, why you can’t? Ok, maybe you can’t make as many as he, but by earning few dollars a day, you could get nice Christmas present for yourself.
What are your thoughts on this?
If you want to run a blog and work on it seriously, you need to think about the place where you will do it – the workspace; it is thing number one in your list before starting a blog.
The table
The first thing in your workspace is table. It is important because, you will hold on it almost everything-Laptop or desktop computer, printer and other tech. Probably you will write articles in notebook (it is my suggestion to do so), I think that there will be some books and other useful stuff for blogger.
My suggestion to you is that you should buy a large table, so there would be enough space for your computer and, you could do some writings on this table.
If you don’t have enough space for big table, you should consider buying two tables: one for the computer and other for writing and other stuff you will need.
The chair
The second thing which you will need for your workspace is chair. It is also very important thing because it affects your health, the position of your back, especially when you spend a lot of time in front of computer (for example by writing multiple or long posts)
In this question you must talk to shop assistant, but I like the chair which choose famous blogger: Paul Stamatiou you can read his thoughts about the chair he bought in his blog:(Review: Herman Miller Celle Chair)
Also thing about lightness in your workspace, but now let’s move to some tech stuff.
Desktop computer or laptop
Computer is your number one tool for blogging. If now you are writing your blog on your brothers or sisters computer-forget about it! Think on how you could get your personal computer, because if you will have any idea about a blog post, you wouldn’t need to disturb the computer owner. Now, if you don’t have your computer, think how you could get it and then continue reading.
So, now when you understand that you need your own computer, you must think which it will be: a desktop computer or a laptop?
My suggestion is to buy a laptop, because now companies are making laptops with equivalent technical specifications as Desktop computers. There are a lot of advantages when using a laptop: It’s portable, you can work with it where ever you are, It has WI-FI connection, so you can use internet in places like cafeterias or schools and many other places where the WI-FI is available, there are more advantages using a laptop, which I will not write, because there a lot of other sites with this kind of information.
If you have enough money you can buy two computers: One laptop and second desktop computer, one you could use in travels, but other at home.
Monitor
If you are thinking on buying a desktop computer, you should attend your thoughts on monitor, because it will be the thing you will look very often. So consider buying a good monitor for your eyes. In my opinion, the companies which are providing qualitative monitors are: SAMSUNG and APPLE. They aren’t very cheap, but they are good and don’t forget it all about your eyes.
Keyboard and mouse
Keyboard and mouse aren’t so important as monitor, but they are responsible for your hands. I think that a blogger must buy a good keyboard for his hands-to place them in a good position. Also consider buying a keyboard with some hotkeys, for example with internet and mail hotkeys, so you can get to your blog or mail quickly.
Conclusion
After reading this post you must understand that it’s very important to choose a good place for your work station, First of all think about the table which you will sit in front of and secondly think about your own work station: think out will it be a laptop or desktop computer.
If you have any questions, please do not hastate to write them in comments or send me a private message to E-mail. I promise that I will answer your question about this topic.
And here come Google analytics to help you follow after your site traffic. Google analytics I think is the best choose, when choosing between similar analytics programs for your site. First of all it’s made by Google, and it means that it’s stable and secure. Secondly it is easy in use. And third- it can be connected with your Google Adsense account.
Inside Google Analytics
In the screenshot you can see the main screen of Google analytics monitoring program. As you can see it shows a lot of useful information for your site metrics.
So the first part of the program shows detailed daily, weekly and even monthly statistic of visitors which come to your blog, on the second part of the program you can see detailed stats on your site usage- it shows how many visitors come to your site, how many page views there where, then it shows the middle pages/visits count. I don’t know exactly what the bounce rate is, but I don’t use it, but if you know some information about it, please let me know it, add the information in comments bellow this post. Then you can see the average of the time, how long visitors are on your site. And the last stop point of this part of program shows how many there where new visits on your site (Percentage), but you can get more detailed information about all this points by clicking on them.
The next part of the program is Visitors overview part. It shows the count of visitors, which come to your site. If you click on the view report link you can get more detailed information about your unique visitors and of course other information too.
As you may notice this window first part is similar to the main. After it you can get more detailed information about visits, unique visitors, and page views, average number of page views, average time count, which is spent on your site per visitor and many other options, which you can see yourself. After all these information, which I mention before, you can see technical information, first is about browsers, and second is about internet connection, which can help your for example on creating low graphic site version for those who have low internet speed, there is an link to get more detailed information, just click on the view full report link.
Next part of the main programs widow is map overlay and it will give you more detailed information about the countries, regions and cities from which visitors come to your site.
It is a big world map, which is in white, green and dark green colors. The white overlay color means that there weren’t any visitors from that are. The light green color shows that there were only some visitors from that country and dark green color means that from these countries you get the biggest count of visitors. You can also click on each country and get information about the places from where people come from.
After this global map you can see also a table which shows the same information as map, but only in other form and some additional information. There are four buttons before this table on the right side; if you click on them it will remake the table in to a diagram, so it will be easier to compare the information.
The next block of the main window is traffic sources, it shows detailed information from which places do people come and you must know that there are three sources. First is direct traffic, it means that the visitors come to you site by entering your site address manually in the address box of the browser. Second type of traffic is referring sites, that means that visitors come to your site by clicking on link on other websites, but not search engines, they don’t count on the referring sites, because they have separate category- search engines, and as you may thought it is the count of visitors which come from sites like, Google, Yahoo and other website searching sites.
If you click on the view full report link you see a window like this. It is similar to some previous windows, which had this blue diagram. Next, after the diagram you can see the divide in percents of each traffic source and more on the right is situated pie diagram. Of course you can click on each traffic source and get more detailed information about each of them.
After them you can see the most popular traffic sources for your site, it will show the source name, count of visits and also will show it in percents. Next to it you can see the most popular keywords, which people entered in search engine to find your site and visit it. And each of these points is as links and by clicking on them you can get more detailed information.
I think that this is the most useful information, when you want to work on your traffic. You can see which sites bring the most traffic to your site and think on how to get even more visitors. Also very useful is keywords block, for example, you want to people find your site by a keyword which isn’t listed here and this block will help you to know is the new keyword working for your site or not.
Next and last block on the main area of this program is called content overview.
If you will click on the view full report for this block you will get and window which is similar to this.
It also contains very useful information, which can help you to work on your traffic. As almost all previous windows this also have the blue diagram. After it you can see how many times the pages where viewed for your site. After this it also shows the detailed information, like how many page views there were totally made, how many of them where unique and also this unknown for me point – bounce rate. As in all previous windows you can get also detailed information on them all.
The third part of this window contains links, to the most popular content. It depends on how many page views the page had.
I also think that this information is one of the most useful, when working on your traffic. As an example I can give, you see that a page is popular and you see how many page views it had and then you can add some ads on the most popular page, so you get the maximum revenue. And if you wonder what does “/” symbol mean in top content block, it is your sites main page.
The right side of this page also includes useful information and I don’t need even to write about them, because everything about them is explained already.
End
This was only short overview of Google Analytics program options, which you can see on the main screen. Of course it has many more options, which are needed when analyzing your site traffic. In the text I didn’t mention one important thing about this traffic analyzing program. It will only count your 1000 visitors and if you want more you must pay. For me now it is enough using free Google Analytics account and I think that you also – if you only begin to analyze your traffic.
There is an option also to connect your Google Adsense account with Google Analytics account, so you can get information how many cents does your links earn.
And what are your favorite site analyzing programs you use?
Yesterday I had good chance to test the “Ubuntu 7.10” operating system. It was a LiveCD, so I didn’t need to install it on my hard drive to simply test it.
I did not check all functions of this system, but only the general.
What is an open-source operating system?
Open source operating system is the same, operating system like others, only this system is free of charge and the software code can by updated by any programmer in the world.
The real definition of the open source you can read in Wikipedia.
The Ubuntu
I think that Ubuntu is a good alternative for windows, because it has everything what we need. It has the Internet, Mail reading software, Office software, which includes (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) it is all named Open Office, which you can also use on your windows PC.
The original LiveCD boot’s too slow, but I think that it is not a problem. In the LiveCD you can everything preinstalled, like Firefox web browser, Open Office, Games and many more useful programs.
This Operating system for me was very easy to use, because there everything is made logically.
The best thing which I did not expect that the internet will be ready, after the boot, so I didn’t needed to configure it manually.
The LiveCD also gives us an opportunity to use it anywhere and also everything is legally.
The biggest disadvantage of this OS is that it hasn’t so many programs as windows have. But there are also people, who use the computer only to surf the internet, listen music, watch movies, chat with friends and etc. And this OS allows you to do it.
Ubuntu- Do I need it?
After spending only about 30minutes with this OS, I can say only the best. And which operating system to choose only depends on your goals which you want to reach and also in what cases do you use it If you use the computer only to write something, check out the internet, watch some movies or listen music on it, then you can choose the Ubuntu, and by choosing it you will also economy some money, because its free. If you are planning to use this computer for other goals like gaming, video edit, website making and etc. then the best choose for you will be the windows.
The desktop edition of Ubuntu is available for download on this link:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
To use Ubuntu you will need: PC with at least 384mb of RAM, and 4GB of hard drive space. The latest information about Linux can be found on official website:
www.ubuntu.com
I will be happy to hear your experience with the Ubuntu, in the comments bellow.
Design and look
This camcorder is made very simple, it hasn’t a glossy design, and it’s just for simple users. If you are looking for camera, which will bring your friends attention then this isn’t the right camera. The body is made from silver plastic, only the back, where the Mini DVD is kept is black and it’s made from rubber. This camera is easy to hold in hand. In standard shop assembly it comes with special belt which allows you to hold this camera.
There aren’t many buttons, because the screen is touchable, this function you will see in almost every Sony made camcorder. There are still some buttons on the panel, they are the most important – stop and record button’s. Also there are the same buttons – record and stop buttons on the left side of the screen. I almost forgot there are also buttons to zoom in and zoom out. There are also located on both, the screen left side and back. This camera also has one minus and it’s the location where is the Mini DVD insert and eject panel, it’s just simply very uncomfortable, when you trying to change the disc, because the belt for holding is on the way of it. So please note, when buying this camera, check it in shop already, not just in home, when it’s little bit too late.
Also one interesting note, which I noticed using this camera and which I think is big plus for it. All the holes are hidden with something, so no one can see them.
So this is very simple designed camera which is mostly in silver and black colors. If you don’t want to be the superstar among your friends, then this camera is right for you, besides it’s easy in use, because it most cases you will use the touch screen.
Functionality
This camera is hybrid and with this word I mean that it can use both, Mini DVD disc and Pro Duo memory card to record and save your video. And it’s a big plus for this camera, because most cameras use the memory card to save pictures on it, not to record video.
Also this camera can not only record video, but take pictures too, but they aren’t very big, only on VGA format, which allows you to take photos with resolution of 640×480.
The video recording format in the highest quality is 720×576. This camera can record in both formats, the most popular for now days 16:9 and second, which isn’t very popular now, the 4:9, but sometimes it’s needed.
Also as a good function is that the screen of this camera can be turned into 180 grades and also you can insert it back with the screen on upper side. So it will be very easy to show the video for your friends.
As Mini DVD you can use any disc, but the camcorder will always say that it’s better to use Sony disc, I just ignore this notice and start filming, and it’s just showing on the startup of the camera, so you don’t need to worry.
As overall for the functionality I can say that this camera works fast, the screen is bright, it’s just sometimes hard to see what you are filming on the sun, but I think that it’s not a problem. Also if we speak about battery then I can say that it works very good it will work for you for about two hours, before you need to charge it again. On the box is written that it will for about 9 hours, but in real world it isn’t true, I just checked that.
Quality
The quality of the recorded video is very good for watching the videos in full screen on a 19” monitor; it also looks good when you are watching it on your TV. As this camera isn’t a Full HD or HD, then it’s certainly won’t look very good, or just won’t work on your Full HD 1018i TV, then you need to look after suitable camera.
This camera is recording in .mpg format, unfortunately it’s little bit harder to montage the movie in Adobe products, like Premier or After Effects, so you will need to convert them in to correct format, which will take you little bit of your time.
If we speak about sound that I can say that it’s good only when the speaking isn’t very far from the camera, it’s because the camera uses built in speakers. Sometimes the sound is like in a box, but it’s only sometimes. There are also options to buy a special microphone for this camera which will be on the camera. Unfortunately you can’t connect a simple microphone; you will just need to buy the special one.
If we started to talk about extras for this camera, then it wouldn’t be very kind full, to don’t mention that you can also add a special Fish Eye for this camera, so the video looks more professionally, but as I said before, you must buy them apart; these extras aren’t included in the shop assembly.
As I mention before this camera can also shoot pictures, but the quality is very, very low, it’s only 0.3 megapixels. If you think to buy it as camcorder and photo camera, then don’t do it. Buy these things singly. And this is with almost all camcorders they can’t shoot photos in high resolution. By the way the pictures are stored in the card, so if you want to use the photo function, you will need the memory card obligatory.
Overall
The Sony DCR-DVD 110E is very good camcorder. It’s designed for those who don’t want to be seen while they record, so it’s made from plastic in silver colors – simple. The screen of the camera is very bright, just sometimes it is very hard to use it on a sunny day – but it’s only sometimes. As big plus for the screen is that you can not only fully mange everything on it with your fingers, but also you can turn the screen in 180 grades, so you can easy show the video to a group of people.
All videos can be recorded both- to the Mini DVD disc or Pro Duo memory card. So you can choose. This camera is also very easy to hold in hand and you feel safely while holding it with the special belt for this. This belt is only disturbing when you are changing the Mini DVD disc, because the disc cover is hits on the belt. This camera works for about half an hour, when it’s fully charged. So I suggest you to buy also second battery.
This camera also has very good video quality, which is 720×576, it looks very good on computer monitor and TV, but please don’t hope that it will look very good at HDTV or FULL HD, I just think that it won’t even work. This camera also can take pictures in VGA quality which is 0.3 Megapixels. So as you may know it’s 640×480. I think it’s too small to take normal pictures, so if you want good video and good pictures then, buy single camcorder and photo camera.
What camcorder do you have?
]]>Latest versions of Skype have interesting feature called “Extras” it’s collection of programs which you can download or buy and use it with your Skype, most of them are made to entertain with your friend or group of friends, but there are also many programs for serious work. You can find them by going to your Skype and choosing “extras” from the Tools menu in the window. When you open them, you can see that they are organized in to various categories. There are many programs for business, entertainment, sharing, productivity and many other. In most cases they are free, but sometimes you can find a program which is available as a trial and you can only use it only for few days as a free of charge.
Pamela Call Recorder
This program will help you, when you need record your conversations. I am using it and I am complacent with it. Only the voice on other side is little bit to quiet, when you listen the recording. This program also allows you to add various sounds during the recording, like applause, baby cry, drums and etc. It also allows you to record a conversation, so it’s also very helpful when you want to create a podcast, between a people, who you can’t meet, but the podcast is very important.
White Board Meeting
White Board Meeting is a program which allows you to create a virtual white board, which can be used for deciding something in a big company, which has lot of people inside and can’t get them all in one place. It’s like Paint, but this is just for a group of people and it can be used in real time. But you don’t need make conversation to use it; it also works very well in offline mode. If you need a whiteboard, but don’t have so much money to buy it, then go on and try this virtual white board.
KishKish Lie detector
This program is more for fun, then for serious using. It will help you to find out is your friend lying to you, between your conversation or no. It will work only in calling mode. The minus of this program is that it’s saying that you check the person on this lying detector, so other person may cheat. But as it isn’t a serious lie detector then this minus isn’t so important. If you think your friend is lying to you, then you can check him on this “for fun” program.
TalkAndWrite
This program is similar to White meeting board, only this is more configured to work as a virtual classroom. This is more for teaching, then for conferencing. This will help you to explain something to your students. It has a lot of options. There is a special chat window, which is built in the program; there you can load in your created files in any format. So it helps you to tech your scholars or students. There are two versions of this program basic and pro, the basic program is free of charge, but to use pro you must pay.
Skitter
Skitter is very useful and interesting for those, who are using twitter. This program simple connects to your selected twitter account and, shows your newest tweet in the, my thoughts section of the Skype. You can configure it to show only your tweet or with date and link to your twitter account. Very useful program to show your latest messages which you post on twitter, to show them on your Skype.
That’s all, but you can still find list of all Skype programs on their official extras web page, on
