Notes: 1 / 5 days ago from bookmarkletMake Word, PowerPoint and Excel Work Like Google Docs
Cool and now part of Google.
Painless, real time sharing and simultaneous group-editing of Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel and Word documents.

1 week ago from bookmarkletLocation Will Be This Year’s Twitter At SXSW
Three years ago, Twitter famously was the talk of the conference (it won the web award
that year). While sure, it didn’t explode into mainstream popularity until sometime later, the writing was on the wall for the early-adopters who started using it there or shortly thereafter. Two years ago, it was arguably Twitter again
that was the must-use service throughout the conference as it continued to mature. But last year saw some new entries rise. Both Foursquare
and Gowalla
launched at the conference, with Foursquare gaining much of the momentum coming out of the conference (as some of us predicted
). And this year, I suspect it will be largely an extension of that, with location services in general being the talk of the show.

The decisions made at the weekly Search Quality Launch Meeting will wind up affecting the results you get when you use Google’s search engine to look for anything — “Samsung SF-755p printer,” “Ed Hardy MySpace layouts,” or maybe even “capital Burkina Faso,” which just happens to share its name with this conference room"

The Third and Fourth pillars [called Go 4 It and Welcome Mat respectively] I developed after reading 2000 pages of research on Atlanta, Research Triangle Park, Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley for Joe Frolick’s show on WVIZ."-
This is classic Cleveland tech scene stuff. Did you drink the Kool-Aid? George Nemeth obviously didn’t.

He then “emptied out the savings account,” netting $20,000. After three days of tinkering in his basement, the mechanical engineering graduate finished a prototype. In 2007, he formed Tremont Electric, in Tremont, Ohio, with himself as CEO. He’s now selling the product for $149 through Tremont’s Web site, greennpower.com."

2 weeks ago from bookmarklet"But that boon comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out in the 1960s, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski."

Dump the clicker. Use your Droid as a remote control on FiOS. | Google Android Blog
Pay attention FiOS TV customers. Verizon has just released a Mobile Remote Widget that makes it possible to control your television directly from a Motorola Droid. The new app is designed to replicate the FiOS remote and will work from anywhere in the home through your Wi-Fi network. The same HD set-top box controls like pause, rewind, and DVR settings found on a remote are also be available on the Droid.
The My Remote feature will allow users to search for content using the Droid’s physical QWERTY keyboard and manage the Facebook/Twitter widgets. My Photos will beam photos stored on their phone onto the television screen, making it easier to share pictures and run slideshows of mobile snapshots or other images stored on the phone.

On a mission to help people discover great new products and services
We all love to discover great new products and services
The discovery of an awesome new product makes our day! It makes us happy to find out that someone has been thoughtful enough to create something that brings us joy or solves a problem we had.
The majority of these discoveries come from the recommendation of a friend. The trust in a friend’s judgment is still hard to surpass. And as friends, we love to give a recommendation that we think will help a friend out.
Hollrr is the fun and easy way to share recommendations for great new products and services.
In computer science a byte (pronounced "bite", IPA: /baɪt/) is a unit of measurement of information storage, most often consisting of eight bits.
techbytes.biz is a unit of measurement of information about all things digitized from the perspective of Douglas Craver.
Doug is a tech marketing and operations action strategist and startup craftsman, entrepreneur, writer, huge Hammond B3 Organ fan - and any musician who can master one - and a great cook (I’m told I can, “throw it down”) based in Northeast Ohio.
I like to think of techbytes.biz as a utilitarian tumblelog and virtual workspace. I hope you enjoy your visit, comment and come back soon.
