Become "Googlelicious "

Google is constantly creating tools to make your life easier and add value to your business.  Here are just a few highlights.  View all of the Google links listed below and more valuable links on my site.  The best part...Most of the links provide FREE services!

• Google Voices - Create one number for all of your numbers and SMS. 
• Google Picasa - Fantastic tool to edit your photos.
• Google Knol - Share what you know.  Post a Knol - a unit of knowledge.

And Your Office Doesn't Have This Why?

To be fair, many offices do have the Paperless Transaction Tool from REMicrotools.com but there are still quite a bit of offices that can benefit from it.  Here are just some of the features:

• Huge "hard" and "soft" cost savings for the office and agent.  "The paperless system is already saving us at least $500 a month in hard costs - probably more" - Elaine David, MCA KW Preston Road.
• Eco Friendly and no software or hardware required
• Greensheet and auto communication integration
• Secure legal compliance and document transfer; which gets 25% off of E&O insurance premium for some offices.

Acer in the Hole

Always feel like you are on the go with clients (don't complain - that's a good thing!)  Do you travel out of town on a regular basis?  Want the ability to use something slightly bigger than your smart phone but still keep it lightweight?    Want to still buy a new machine with XP on it and not Vista?  Then check out the Acer Aspire One netbooks.

These slim, cool, ultra light netbooks are very affordable.  All the rage in Europe, they are starting to catch on more and more in the US.  They have a built in web cam and wireless.  They come with 1 GB of Memory but can be upgraded to 2 GB.  They range typically from $280-350.  Most come preloaded with XP (yeah!) and have a Microsoft Office 07 trial    version preloaded.  They can fit inside most folders and are perfect for your on the go needs.  I just bought my wife one for Mother's Day.  I will have to "borrow it" for my out of town training sessions!

Left click here to go to my site to check their specs and pricing.  Do check the reviews for info about the "black screen."  That has been a minor problem on some machines.  Happy hunting!

Ok, you have to check this out.  This is a great link for your business and personal contacts.

It's a 5-minute video about a brand new tool you can add to your social network page (works now with MySpace, Facebook, and Bebo) or any web page or blog or even email. You just add a link and your friends can send you a private text message to your cell phone, and you can reply with your cell phone and they'll get it while they're still on your chat window!

It's called Chat To Text.

It's all explained in the video:

I've installed it already - look for the "Text Me" button on my website and Facebook page and send me a text message to my cell phone...too cool!
