Creating and maintaining a blog can be hard work, as it takes a lot of trial-and-error and can cause many headaches and frustrations. If you truly want your blog to succeed, you have to treat it as a business; this often involves putting in long hours of research, tweaking, optimizing, and much more. While those who are new to blogging often don’t realize what they’re getting themselves into, they quickly learn that blogging is not for everyone. If you’re not willing to put in the work and effort, then you

How do you keep up with conversations on Twitter? Since Twitter.com still does not support threaded conversations, it can be a real pain trying to keep up with replies and figuring out what they’re in response to. Personally, I really thought that Twitter would have rectified this situation by now, but sadly they haven’t. Fortunately, until something is done at least we can resort to third party tools, like Bonfire. Bonfire is a very simple extension that adds chat functionality to Twitter.com.

Minus is a very simple and minimalistic online service with a focus on file sharing. A couple months ago, I briefly mentioned Minus in 7 Online Tools for Sharing Files Very Quickly as a tool that lets you quickly share files within 2 clicks. Since then, it appears that Minus has now evolved into a Dropbox-like tool with a desktop app for dragging and dropping files into the service – for storing and sharing. Best of all, when you sign up you get 10 GB of free space for storing pictures, documents,

I used to be a die hard Firefox fan. Just check the “Software” category on this blog. You’ll see dozens of posts about Firefox, related news and favorite extensions. Then one day Google announced it was going to launch a browser…. As you probably know that browser is called Google Chrome. When it came out I decided to give it a try, just to know what was going on. I had no plans at all to switch, as I was very happy with Firefox. At first I liked it a bit, but it didn’t have

The Internet may be largely an international place, but the same Internet isn’t exactly accessed in Singapore as it is in San Francisco. From the perspective of an Internet marketer (or any other kind of online entrepreneur or business owner), this is a very important thing to keep in mind. How a website looks to you in Vancouver might not be the same as how it’s seen in Vienna. So, what can you do? If you want to target an international audience, you want to see what they’re seeing and

I have been using the Marginize browser plugin for a couple weeks now on both Firefox and Google Chrome. It’s a non-obtrusive tool that I really enjoy using because it makes browsing the Web more fun and social. Marginize is a great way to see what others are saying (on Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz) about a specific web page. As you’re surfing the Web, you can also share your own thoughts and opinions about any web page. Not only that but you can check-in to any web page and possibly

TicknTalk is an ad-free Twitter client for your web browser sidebar that focuses on the “hottest links on Twitter.” It is currently available for Firefox and Internet Explorer. What it does is put together the most popular links on Twitter and then display them at the top of the sidebar according to how many have shared it. TicknTalk even goes a step further and shows you the top links posted on Twitter for any website that you visit. It’s a great way to see who is tweeting about your

Firefox is one of the three browsers I use on a regular basis, and it’s the only one I use on both my Mac and PC. One of the main reasons I usually open it up is to use one of my favorite addons (aka extensions) that is not available on either Chrome or Safari; then there are other times when things just seem to work better in Firefox. In any case, if you’re a Firefox and a social networking user, then here are five simple yet useful Firefox addons that may come in handy for you. It’s

It’s Monday, so time to review another useful Firefox add-on. Today I’ll talk about FastestFox, which intends to make surfing the web with Firefox faster and more efficient. A come across this extension a while ago when I was using my brother’s computer. I browsed down to the bottom of a Google search results page, and Firefox automatically loaded the second page of results below it (i.e., without the need to click onto a second page). I found the trick really neat, and then I discovered
