Update up 10 social networks from HelloTxt

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

Updating social sites can be a chore depending on how many you take part in, thats why Hellotxt was created.  Hellotxt makes it easy to update your social networks in one text blast.  No need to register to another service (unless you would like hellotxt to remember your login and passwords) just type your login and password for each social network and hellotxt will post to 10 services that it can interface with.  From Twitter, jaiku, Pownce, facebook, plaxo, and tumblr to some lesser know services like frazr, meemy, beemood, and gozub Hellotxt has got you covered.  One strange omission is that MySpace is missing from the menu of choices.  However if you want to play the social network update game HelloTxt is the name.  I added HelloTxt to a new Social network tab using Stick so that I could easily update my Twitter and Facebook account.

Add a LinkedIn signature to your Gmail

So you can finally add a HTML signature to your web Gmail account.  The “Gmail HTML Signatures” greasemonkey script allows you to automatically insert an HTML signature into your Gmail messages based on the email address that you are sending it from.  While adding HTML signatures is cool all by itself, it also means that you can now add LinkedIn signatures to your outgoing email.  Just go to your linkedIn Signatures section and copy and paste your html code.  Then go back to your Gmail and click “Edit Signature” and paste.

Download torrents without additional software

Ever need to download a torrent on another computer but don’t want to install software?  Bitlet.org is a java based program for doing just that, just add your torrent to the text box and click “Download torrent”. 

So okay you are wondering why in the world would I want to do this?  After all utorrent is a few seconds download and if you are downloading torrent content whats the difference if the software is on your hard drive too?  Well you see theres more to this torrent client than you can see.  First off, there is no configuration which is great for new users (noobs).  Second and this the best part, if you have a bandwidth limited site you could use a bitlet download link to distribute your software or music saving you money without inconviencing your sites viewers.  Wait did I just somehow legitimize downloading with a torrent client?  Here’s an example download link, Steal This Film!

Changes at NoHeat

First off let me apologize to my loyal readers who have been going
through a little NoHeat withdrawal while I catch up on some of my
deadlines.  Between power outages, torrential snow, a dead furnace, and
a crazy work schedule I have every excuse not to keep NoHeat as current
and I know you would like.  The good news is I have qued up some great
stories for next week which I think may make up for the brief absence. 
In any case I refuse to put up filler content to keep the site rolling.
My theory is if its crap, it won’t get posted on NoHeat, I’d rather let
it sit with older content.  After all it wouldn’t be cool tech if I
started adding fluff right?  We gave a few writers a chance to help us
out, only to find that its very hard to find someone that can bring
someone that brings unique cool content.  We’re going to add a couple
of full time writers, in particular Jenine. Look to hear from her on
the weekends.  The other full time writer will be announced soon.  We
will also be doing some spring cleaning again, some ads will disappear
and some will appear, the good news is that we will be making more
money and so the more money we make can be re-invested back into the
site.  So let me just say thanks for reading and enjoy the surge in
content, hopefully we can keep it up for another couple of years.
