MOBILE WIFI

I have another new technology—Mobile Wifi. I got it as an alternative to buying a new cellphone. I first bought a Nokia Internet Tablet on Ebay. I got it for about half price—and it turned out to be in excellent condition. I got  a little mifi hotspot for one cent and a 40 dollar per month data plan.

I can make calls on it using Skype. Since my business number is a Skype call-in, that means, essentially, that my mobile number is the same as my business number. I can also do email and unlimited free texting using Google Voice. I can also browse the web and use email. In short, I can do all the fancy stuff without paying a big price. Since I do not use a cell all that often, the limited plan will do fine. I also get free wifi at all Verizon hotspots—mostly hotels and Starbucks. It is generally pretty easy to find a Starbucks in NJ. I tested it at the local Starbucks and it works great.

New Features

I just happened to notice that you can embed videos in blogs with Windows Live Writer, the blogging software I use. I am going to use this blog post to test this feature. I looked and it obviously does not work on my website, though it does appear if you go directly to the blog.

I can post a video outside the area where the blog is embedded, at the bottom of the page. Take a look.

All Work and No Play
It happened to me again. I started playing with Youtube about 4 hours ago. I did not plan any of this--  http://www.youtube.com/user/bookmarc1947.  It just happened. I started performing and posting poetry and writing a profile and so on.

I am going to try to see if I can embed one of the poems I posted directly in the blog. If you cannot see anything, it obviously did not work.

Hootsuite

hootsuite

I am really enjoying this application. It can be had at the Hootsuite site. It is basically a social media dashboard. I have mine set up so that I can post to my Facebook account, my fan page, my twitter account, a fan page for a client, a client’s twitter account, several other pages I administer and my Linkedin account, all in one place. I can post the same thing on multiple locations. And I can set up posts to be delivered later in the day.  It saves me a lot of time logging off and logging on multiple accounts. I really endorse this.

If you work with social media, this is good stuff.
