Getting the most out of technology
By karen | December 30, 2010
I always enjoy reading Personal Tech in the NY Times, my feeble attempt at keeping up to date on technology. This week is no exception, with two interesting posts.
10 Ways to Get the Most Out of Technology offers a number of useful tips, though possibly the most useful is the revelation that both Firefox and Google Chrome browsers apparently have a feature called bookmark syncing, which will update your books on all your computers using Chrome or Firefox. (This is a new feature in Firefox 4, currently in Beta; Chrome syncs bookmarks through your Google account.) This is definitely worth exploring, especially with the news that Yahoo is sunsetting Delicious, one of the most popular (and best, IMHO) social bookmarking tools. While Delicious says don’t panic, I’m concerned enough to look for new alternatives.
And David Pogue’s column is a weekly must-read. This week: The Pogies: Best Tech Ideas of the Year. This is not about the best products, but the best ideas or just features, in products. Check it out, Mr. Pogue always has something interesting to say and in a style that’s amusing and accessible.
