Clip2Net - Share files, folders and screenshots easily
Posted on April 2, 2008 at 5:09 am
Is there a file or folder that you want to quickly share with someone or with a couple of people? Maybe it’s too large to attach to an email or maybe you want to send an entire folder, but you don’t know how to zip it up? Or what if you need a screenshot or video capture of your desktop to send to colleagues?
Currently if you wanted to share a screenshot of an area on your desktop, you’d have to use a screen capture program like SnagIt and then save it to your computer locally and then either email it to everyone via attachment or upload it to some other file sharing service.

Apple Safari Review
Posted on April 1, 2008 at 5:48 am
There are so many browsers out there that deciding which is the best is hardly an easy task. Nevertheless, whenever anybody asked me which was the best browser out there, I confidently said Firefox.
I am a great fan of Mozilla’s baby and have been using it since its inception. My bond with Firefox has laughed of the gravest of threats including Opera and Internet Explorer 7.
