Oh yes, another audio finder has been added to the short-to-medium list of audio downloaders. Ilavitverymuch. Just like the legendary audiogalaxy, you search for music using the web and download it using your browser or your download manager.

You maybe wondering why use Skreemr if there is Limewire, or WinMX, or IRC channels, or BitTorrent. Well, its because Skreemr is legal and its for free. It doesnt need Java to run. You do not have to install or set up ANYTHING. It just needs a browser. Yes, an internet browser. Type in skreemr.com, seach for a song, and click and download. Just so simple.

People who are in urgent need of a song but doesnt have any mp3 downloader in their laptops will really benefit from this great, great service.

Im not really knowledgable when it comes to all the technical stuff behind, but as far as I can tell, I really really REALLY love it. You do not have to leech from other users like Limewire and other downloaders, and you do not have to seed for your download speed to go high up. You just download it from the server directly using http or ftp.

So for my conclusion, Skreemr-rocks-BIGTIME.

You can surf faster with Firefox without installing any plug-in. I read and have been doing this trick years ago and I can see the difference. I just want to share this to those who haven’t heard of this hack for Firefox.  You can do this by:

1. Type about:config in the address bar. Hit enter or return. (this opens firefox’s web configuration)

2. Scroll down to “network.http.pipelining”. Switch it to “true”.

3. Switch “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”.

4. Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30 or something around it. This means it will take 30 requests at once. That is why it is defaultly set to 1 for dial-up users.

5. Right click anywhere and click New > Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. The value means how long will the browser wait before it responds.

Are you one of those who read about the “what’s up’s” all over the world through feeds? In this post you will learn how to navigate easily your daily feeds with Google Reader. I myself is fascinated by this free service of Google. And now I’m more fascinated of what I’ve learned.

Original link: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/10-smart-hacks-for-google-reader.html

1. Sort your feeds by priority.

Google Reader makes it easy to organize all of your feeds by topic. However, I would also suggest that you categorize
your feeds by priority as well. This way, you know which items are “Must Read” and which items “Can Be Skipped” on days that you’re busy.

2. Use Keyboard Shortcuts.

You can’t become a Google master without learning the keyboard shortcuts for Google Reader. These little tweaks can save you a good bit of time in the long run.

Some of the most common shortcuts include:

j/k: item down/up
o: open/close item
s: toggle star
m: mark as read/unread
t: tag an item

3. Optimize your feed reading time by combining certain feeds into one large master feed.

This can be done using FeedShake. Feedshake allows you to merge, sort, and filter multiple RSS feeds. You can also use filters and tags to create a more customized feed.

For a more advanced solution, you can try Yahoo Pipes. Yahoo Pipes is a very powerful RSS feed remixer that gives you the ability to create web mashups that combine a variety of data from different sources. Yahoo Pipes takes web aggregation to an entirely new level.

4. Add tags to your feed items.

Google Reader lets you organize all of your feed items by tags. This is one of the best features for those who are
looking to optimize their time.

To add a tag to a post, simply click “add tags” and enter the relevant tags.

5. Search your feed items.

The only feature that I would really like to see in Google Reader that is currently missing is a search feature. Fortunately, there are ways to work around this.

You can use Google Reader Custom Search to search your feeds using Google Co-op inside Google Reader.

6. Star items for future reference.

Google Reader enables you to quickly star items for future reference. This can come in handy for items that you want to refer to later.

7. Smart Google Reader Subscribe Button

The Smart Google Reader Subscribe Button makes it easy to subscribe to a site’s RSS feed while also letting you know if you’ve already subscribed to that site. If you subscribe to a lot of feeds, this kind of tool is very handy.

Another great way to add RSS feeds on the fly is with the subscribe bookmark. This tool enables you to quickly
subscribe to any site that you find interesting while surfing the web.

To access the subscribe button, click on Settings on the top right-hand corner of the Google Reader interface and
then click on Goodies. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see detailed instructions on how to use the subscribe bookmark.

8. Use Expanded View.

For optimum productivity, use expanded view. Expanded view makes it very easy to scroll all of your feed items and
scan for interesting posts.

However, I don’t suggest that you simply scroll down the page. You can go from one entry to the next simply by
pressing the “J” key. Whenever you want to go backwards, use the “K” key to return to the previous post.

9. Do a weekly or monthly cleanup.

Over time, there are certain feeds that you simply don’t read anymore, or read very infrequently.

These feeds should be dumped on a regular basis to keep your feed reader under control.

Google Reader has an excellent feature known as Subscription Trends that keeps track of where you do the majority of your reading. This will help you to quickly identify any feeds
that need to be dumped.

If your subscription trends reveals a feed that is read less than 5%, then it’s probably time to delete it. Fortunately, you can delete any feed directly from the Trends page.

10. Dedicate a certain time of the day for reading your feeds and stick to your allotted times.

If you allow yourself 30 minutes to read through your feeds each day, then stick to it. Believe me, everything will still be there tomorrow.

Like the famous Chikka messenger which lets you send sms to your friends for free from your pc, you can also send free sms wolrdwide with Callwave’s widget and the Yahoo! Widget Engine.

Aside from meebo, imo.im is another web-based internet messaging application. It has all the features like meebo except that it doesnt have its own network like meebo and you can only connect to Yahoo, AIM, MSN, and GoogleTalk. And an added feature, a conference. You can invite people into your conference by sending them a link to the imo.im site and by logging in their preferred accounts.

Almost exactly as meebo. But atleast, a new and different interface.

Starting today Im gonna be starting my own tech blog. Which ofcourse, will all be about technology. Well, more on computer technology. Aaand.. Just be patient. I’ll be posting about some stuff soon.
