Do you own one of Amazon’s Kindle, Kindle2 or Kindle DX? How about Sony’s PRS-500, PRS-505 or PRS-700? These are some of the e-book readers (with proprietary software and formats) that are sold in the market and it is very probable that you do not own one of them. But you own a computer just like many people and households around the world, don’t you? So what should you do if you wanted to read (or even create) e-books on your computer? The following are some of the software which you can download for free and install to your computer (Windows, Macintosh or Linux-based) which will enable you to read e-books.

Microsoft Reader is available as a free download from the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com) for computers running on the Windows operating system only. It allows users to read files which are created in the “.LIT” (stands for literature) format. Microsoft Reader has the advantage of displaying the book like the printed copy with cover image and illustrations if there are any. Other features include Text-To-Speech for reading books out aloud and navigation to the last page that was read before the program was closed. To create .LIT files, Read in Microsoft Reader is an add-on from Microsoft which can be used with Microsoft Word.

The Mobipocket Reader software version for Windows personal computers allows a user to import other file formats such as PDF, HTML, TXT and DOC. These are then converted into the PRC format for viewing. On attaching a supported hand-held device to your computer for the first time, Mobipocket Reader automatically installs the appropriate version of the software to that device and allows you to send e-books to it.

Linux the Free Operating System for Your Computer

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:27:08 +0000

Article by Claude

If you have taken the time to read my bio you will notice that I’m biased towards the belief that computer operating systems should be inexpensive or even better free. Several years ago I stumbled upon Unix while working out in the field as a computer support specialist. I became fascinated by this different type of operating system controlling one of the servers at a client’s place of business. Wanting to know more I decided to do some research as to what Unix was all about. It was during this time I was introduced to the world of free operating systems and free software.

I have spent a great deal of time researching all the information I could find on why someone would go to the trouble of creating an operating system that he would give away for free. It is through this research that I discovered a whole community of people dedicated to ensuring the Linux operating system would remain free as well as free software to go with it. These people remain, to this day, dedicated to improving Linux as well as creating software that meets or exceeds the needs of the those choosing to use the above.

Ubuntu is just one such version of Linux that is fast becoming the most user friendly operating systems. Ubuntu comes packaged with software most used by all of us. You will find applications such as Open Office, equivalent to the Windows version of Microsoft Office. You will find everything from games to Internet browsers, programming to sound and video and much much more. All of this free and supported. Have a problem with a certain software package? You will find the anwers available only a few keystrokes away. Type your problem in a browser and you will find a forum or website with the answer. If the answer isn’t there, just submit your request for help and someone will be eager to help you.

Since Ubuntu Linux is free and open source this means the program coding is also accessible. For those who are familiar with programming, this becomes a great advantage to changing the operating system or software as you see fit. Another advantage is that you can get involved by providing feedback as to your likes or dislikes. If you are a programmer you can tweek some of the software and submit it to be passed along to other like minded people wanting to see that Linux and the software packages remain free to use for everyone.

This article is meant as an introduction to the world of free operating systems and software. Stay tuned for more articles where I will be writing more in depth reports on the Linux operating system as well as the many available software packages that can be used with Linux.

Free Medical Treatment by The Best Doctors FREE

Did you know you can get Free Medical Treatment? Free Medical treatment by some of the best Doctors in the world. Read more . . .

We all have financial difficulties in our lives, and sometimes we have medical issues that also come up at the same time. This makes our problems in life even worse. Free medical treatment is available by the best doctors in the world, “IF” you know where to look and where to go. This also comes along with What to Ask.

Studies funded by our own government, called “clinical trials” are designed to find ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, control, and treat a variety of diseases and medical conditions.

You can find out what clinical trials are being conducted across the country by contacting the National Institutes of Health Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center. The Clinical Center is the world’s largest biomedical research hospital and offers some of the most advanced scientific and medical technology.

Patients are admitted to the Clinical Center only on referal by a physcian or dentist. Your doctor should submit your diagnosis and medical history to the Patient Referral Service in Bethesda, MD., or call the Patient Referral Service at 301-496-4891. NIH physicians will review your medical history and decide whether or not you qualify to participate in an ongoing clinical trial at the Clinical Center.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) offers a computer file about cancer and clinical trials. The file, called Physicians Data Query (PDQ), contains summaries of over 1,500 ongoing clinical trials that are available to patients. The information in PDQ is updated each month and can provide you or your doctor with the latest information on clinical trials being offered around the country.

The file also can provide the names and physicians conducting the trials, as well as the names of hospitals treating patients on the trials. You can also obtain PDQ information from your physician or by contacting the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-Cancer.

Hopefully the information within this article will help someone. It sure helped me and my family in our current situation. If you have something to share I would love to hear from you. Use the comment section below. Thank you for your time and God Bless.

Don?t Forget a Blog Strategy – ?free People? Didn?t!

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 18:20:08 +0000

Blogs.

As an Internet strategist – my life daily is consumed with social media feeds, blog alerts, feedburner stats, google alert updates, monitoring, strategizing, execution – all of these overused terms and time consuming tactics certainly take a toll on you.

But one thing I do often, as I do for all my clients, is research – taking notice of the growing digital space around me – thinking of ideas to implement innovative strategies among the community and with my clients.

One of those key strategies that are a must in today’s Internet spectrum is a blog. A blog is key in driving not only traffic, but interest to your brand, product, or company. Blogs help you appear authoritative in your industry – allowing you to give views on the latest events in your trade, offer reviews, insights, and so on.

This expands into relationship building tools, as you are able to speak more freely and in a more informal and personable style, as compared to how you direct the voice on your main website. Through the blog channel, they are more likely to trust you, and then all the more likely to visit your main website and then click your links and possibly purchase your product.

It also offers insight for your customers, and allows them to leave comments and ’speak’ to you on a key level. In addition, blogs are extremely search engine friendly – through thousands of possible keywords and fresh, updated content on a regular basis – blogs are simply great facets to have on your website today. Your simply misguided if you think otherwise.

*Read More for a detailed blog breakdown of the popular clothing line Free People.

Now, another aspect of blogs I enjoy are creating them, not only content strategy, but programming and designing them on a unique level. One aspect of ‘branding’ a blog is considering the number of possibilities you have when actually build the blog.

These are all important questions you MUST think about before diving into the blog space – thinking you know what to do, when you might need a refresher.

And always remember that blogs vary, depending if you are in the business-to-consumer or business-to-business parallel – but your Plan of Action (POA) should always remain the same.

Case Study.

Free People. A blog that does it Right.

Free People is a ’boutique’ style of women’s and young girl’s clothing – offered both online and in brick and mortar stores around the world. It is a sister-brand to another well-known bohemian-type clothing, accessories and furniture store – Anthropologie.

Now, the Free People store design is a very creative, bohemian look that stylizes the brand well, and does many good things as far as marketing the brand on the main website – but their blog page does an even better job in terms of look, strategy and content.

First, when you come upon the page – you have a nice flash banner on the top portion of the blog that draws instant attention. It’s 3-D style and moving parts, keeps the user engaged enough to move the mouse over the falling curtain rod and press it – which then drags the screen over, as if you were in puppet show – making note of their blog’s name “Caravan of Curiosities” – to keep the user engaged enough to follow through the blog to discover its true meaning.

Another side point here – naming your blog something different and marketing that along side your main brand is a nice change of pace on occasion. But it won’t work for everyone – so carefully think about that before you go off and name your blog something completely different. The nice touch here is that ‘Caravan of Curiosities’ still has an engaging tone to it, and how they display it in the blog is effective as well.

Working your way down the page – you recognize the 3-D style curtain outline the navigation header, which is simple – and elegant. And then just three blog pages dress the navigation header:

And from a design aspect – you have to appreciate the look with drawn curtains going down the sides of the pages – very instinctual and effective.

Now, the opening page here is the blog homepage – which after the navigation has your standard blog format and layout with a search box, archives, categories, and a blog roll entitled ‘favorites’. They also added a store locator and 6 products that are simple photos and text that link back to the main store. The column layout is a three-column layout morphed into two columns, and in that side right column they squeeze in the blog widgets. All of this is complimented by a great ‘notebook’ style background. As complex and rich as this design is overall – remember, it is their content that gets the job done…not the design. Even though I truly applaud them on such a layout – very engaging for a user to traverse through.

Finally, at the bottom of the page — a nice connection with the footer, in relation to the header — similar to how you tie any story together — you must connect the beginning with the end of a story…as you do a website — design and content including.

Content of Free People.

Now, with any website, content is king, always will be king, and on the Free People blog – it is King. Content on blogs are crucial for search engines because you can create thousands of keywords, all of it search engine friendly, and all the content you create is new and updated – so search engines will love you for it.

Free People does a fantastic job with approaching the all around marketing term – “On Target, Off Topic”. Free People have a target audience, girls, young women ages tween to 45; easily, and for the more trendy women who may breach beyond that age – even an older woman can wear their clothing. With that target audience in thought – as a marketer – go ‘off topic’ for a bit, and consider talking about content that is not directly related to you, but still, in a way, is connected.

Free People’s breaks up its blog into 26 different categories; topics such as art, books, decor, crafts, food, home office, magazines, polls, music, and so on. At the same time, they intermix direct categories related to some of their external social media tools, such as their flickr, myspace, facebook, and download pages.

The point is, their content is intellectually placed, and interesting…which is even more important! They do occasionally drop in content that will push a new outfit, piece of clothing and so on…but not as often as you think. And they are blogging everyday – with NEW content, and using this to their advantage.

Video.

Another aspect of their content they included was a blog page devoted exclusively to video. This custom designed video player they added features behind the scene videos of their monthly catalog shoots, as well as a video featuring their 2007 holiday party. These simple videos are barely 1:30 minutes long, edited with appropriate music, mostly indie stuff, and cut to look a bit grainy and eclectic, as their brand appropriately exhibits now.

This simple idea of placing video on the blog is a great marketing tool. First, the video takes an editor, all of about an hour to edit and post. From there…he can take this video – submit it to any external video channels, i.e. YouTube, Viddler, and so on. They can then upload them to their Facebook, MySpace, and Flickr pages – only enhancing their exposure – through something as simple as video.

For those who don’t know what this is or means; essentially this creates secondary brand exposure that allows you to initially reach out to possible consumers who might not have seen your brand before, allowing them to now find you. It also allows you to create ‘backlinks’ to your website – this all counts in that SEO puzzle so many clients and people I speak to are always trying to solve.

Final.

Here is the point about all this – what this blog does right is pretty much EVERYTHING. What they do wrong, next to NOTHING, nearly. And let’s be clear on this, they have people who are supposed to be blogging and acting as community managers to maintain this blog, and update their external social networking profiles, and so on. This all takes time, and we all know what time ends up being — $$$. But, the effect of what they have created has allowed them to ‘connect’ with their consumers, and harness new customers, and so on. Their blog has been around since November 2006, and has amassed a huge amount of traffic daily to the blog. Agreed – they are a major brand and can spark that type of traffic, but honestly, the simplicity behind their blog strategy only enhances those numbers.

Any company or brand that is thinking of starting a blog strategy need to follow a similar model in structuring their content and direction when beginning or ‘changing up’ a blog for your brand or product.

That’s not the case today anymore. You can now find a free adult social network that will provide you with everything to get a most satisfying date. And because a free adult site offers services that are… well, free, the number of its members is also growing.

Here’s a step by step method of getting lots of adult friends on a free adult social network.1. Always use the advanced search utilities of the free adult social network.

Blog Marketing for a New Online Business ? the Best Free Blog Websites and Posting Tips for You

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:26:29 +0000

As you know, blogging is one of the best ways to increase traffic flow to your new online business website (“Um, what’s blogging?” – if you don’t know much about writing blogs, please read this article first.) Once you write your first entry, you start wondering, what is the best place to post a blog? What are the top blog sites that could aid the marketing of your online business?

Here is a list of the best free blog web-sites that I use myself and recommend to my team members:

“Oh no!” – you say. – “So many sites to sign up for! I hate that!” No worries – I recommend you use the free version of the software called Roboform (http://www.roboform.com/) for all of your Internet sign-ups. Roboform fills out your forms automatically with a push of a button, which reduces your sign-up time to a few seconds per website.

Generally, it’s good not to make your blog sound too promotional, with no more then 2 links to any one web-site per entry, but Wordpress and Hubpages are especially strict when it comes to blog content. Make sure you don’t put anything that sounds like a “direct sell” onto those websites – otherwise your entries will get deleted and your account could get suspended.

If you like to write your entries in Word Document and then post them to the blog web-sites, make sure you preview your blogs before posting them. Blogs imported from Word tend to show up with a bunch of gibberish HTML codes, visible on top of the page. You would have to go to the blog edit window, and remove those manually. Once you post your entry on one of the websites I would recommend to copy and paste it from that site for when you start putting your blog on others. That way, you will be rid of the Word HTML codes forever.

Posting your blog manually to all of the above web-sites will take anywhere from an hour to 3 hours, depending on how fast you can work. My team and I have cut our posting time to 30-45 minutes, using a great free blog disseminator (a service which auto-posts blogs to various web-sites for you). I strongly recommend blog disseminators to anyone who values their time.

A quick note about the disseminators: they don’t auto-post blog tags – only the body of the blog – so make sure you put your tags underneath every entry. I advise my team against using simple one or two-word tags, the reason being, that they act as keywords for search engines and if they are too general, your posting will not get nearly as much traffic. For example, try googling the keywords “blogging”, “blog” or “online business”. There are millions of search engine results for each of them. What is the chance that YOUR blog will show up on the first page?

Instead, try using longer tags. Think of something an actual person would search for in Yahoo! or Google. For example, good keywords/tags for this particular blog are:

Where to post a blog, best websites to post a blog, top blog sites, top blog web-sites, the best place to post a blog, marketing a new online business, online business marketing, blogging for a new business, writing a blog for a new business, how to post a blog, new online business marketing tips, best free blog sites, best free blog websites

If you haven’t yet joined an online business opportunity, make sure you ask your team leaders for help with blogs, as they are extremely important to your development as a marketer. For example, I provide my team with links to various blog directories and with detailed tips on how to avoid common blogging mistakes. Remember that the more blogs you write, the more people will go to your website. I would recommend writing a blog every other day for the first month after your start/join an opportunity.

I hope this was helpful to you! I wish you best of luck in your blogging endeavors.

Free Broadband From Talktalk ? What Talktalk Offer

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:51:20 +0000

In the United Kingdom, there are dozens of broadband service providers that you can choose from. Basically, a broadband service is a type of high-speed connection to the Internet. The good thing about using this type of connection to go online is that it is almost 150 times faster than the speed used by a typical 56K dial-up modem. In addition, broadband offers a much higher bandwidth, greater capacity to send and receive data – and a better browsing experience overall. What to Look for from a Broadband Services Provider When choosing a broadband service, it is good to make a comparison of the following so that you would know which deal offers you the best value for your money: – The cost of the broadband services offered. – The speed of connection. – The monthly download usage limitations, if any. – The length of the contract. – Special discounts, if available. – Hidden or one-time costs, charges and other fees. – Discounts for bundled-up services, if offered. All about the TalkTalk Broadband Service TalkTalk is one of the many broadband services providers in the United Kingdom. They are actually the consumer telephone business of the Carphone Warehouse Group, which is the leading independent communications retailer in Europe. When you visit the official website of TalkTalk, you will see that they offer broadband services, landline services and mobile phones. Just this year, the company has been awarded as the number one in billing and ‘Best value for money’ by the uSwitch awards for the home phone services that they offer. How did TalkTalk’s Offer of “Free” Broadband Service Come About? When you mention the phrase ‘free broadband’ in the UK, the first thing that will come to the minds of the consumers is TalkTalk. Naturally, consumers will find the deal of having free broadband to be an extremely attractive option. But what are the features included in the TalkTalk free broadband service – and is there a catch to the deal? Based from their official website, here are the features included in the free TalkTalk broadband offer: – Up to 8Mb download speeds- A maximum of 40 GB usage per month- Unlimited evening and weekend calls to local, national and international numbers- Same-rate line rental- Free calls to other TalkTalk customers- Free wired modem or wireless modem for only £30.00This free broadband service was introduced way back in 2006. The deal back then was that you will sign up to TalkTalk as your service provider and take out one of the 18-month call plans that they have. This is how you will get the broadband for free. When it was first introduced to UK subscribers, the company experienced double of the outcome that they experienced. Just as it is with any initial campaign, the free TalkTalk broadband deal came with a few problems. However, they were soon straightened out and currently, TalkTalk offers one of the best ‘free broadband’ deals in the country – which you should seriously consider switching over to.

Zoom Mobile provides individuals an opportunity to own their own cell phone business in an industry that has more than 228 million cell phone users in the United States. No other invention has so quickly been embraced than the cell phone.

Thanks to Zoom Mobile, are lives just got easier yet once again. Now 228 Million Americans have the opportunity to eliminate their cell phone bill and make money in the process. The concept is simple, bring on and maintain just three out of millions of cell phone users and your service is free!

There are fundamental differences between Zoom Mobile and our competitors. The single most significant difference is that the CEO of Zoom Mobile is not a career network marketer.

George Burton, CEO of Zoom Mobile, owned a successful independent record label that was sold to Universal Records.

Strive to Get Wireless Internet Hot Spots for Free

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 01:09:20 +0000

I am unabashedly amazed with wireless internet. To think that I can walk into a local coffee shop or library, turn on a laptop computer, and instantly be able to surf the internet at a relatively high speed strikes me as one of the most obviously advantages of the recent advancements in wireless internet technology.

This past year I picked up a personal digital assistant (PDA) that is equipped with wireless technology, allowing me to use a stripped-down version of Internet Explorer to access information through wireless internet just like laptops and desktop computers. With my little wireless-enabled PDA I quite literally am able to hold the entire internet in the palm of my hand, allowing me to watch videos, check my email, or text message friends. It comes in handy again and again, whether I’m eating with friends and we want to know what movies are playing to checking my email while waiting for my bus (at a bus stop that’s conveniently located near a library’s wireless hot spot).

One of the only drawbacks of wireless internet technology is that wireless-enabled devices like my PDA or most people’s laptops need to be fairly near to a wireless hot spot in order for the connection to be established. This leads to many people roaming around, looking for good connections. The search for wireless hot spots has even lead to “war driving,” a practice of questionable legality where people drive around in their cars with laptops setup to search out unlocked wireless internet networks, both public and private. Many different businesses are picking up on the trend, offering wireless internet hot spots in coffee shops, restaurants, and retail stores.

Many businesses are nice enough to provide wireless internet hot spots for free, though it’s usually a good practice to patronize these places if you use their wireless connection to encourage them to keep their access free. Libraries can be great for this service, as can some coffee shops. Some chains offer free wireless at all of their locations, making it pretty easy to track down free wireless hot spots. Some websites even keep track of these free hotspots, working with Mapquest or Google maps to provide maps of free hot spots.

A few other businesses, especially coffee shops, offer wireless internet connections with purchases, but most of the other wireless internet hot spots require payment to access the service. This can come either through a subscription to the service provider or through a credit card payment, though if you’re not a subscriber these hot spots can get expensive quite quickly.
