SO TAKE A BREAK FROM WORK AND TELL YOUR GIRLFRIEND YOU'RE SCOPING OUT EXOTIC LOCATIONS FOR YOUR NEXT VACATION.
NOT A BAD WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO CHECK OUT CRACKLE DOT COM...JUST BE AWARE IT'S THE SAME SITE THAT HOSTS BRAD GARRETT'S WEB DATING SHOW.
NEXT UP IN THE SYNC...
A NEW WAY TO EXCHANGE A VIRTUAL BUSINESS CARD WITH YOUR CELL PHONE.
DUB-ME NOW WORKS IN A FEW WAYS...
YOU CAN EITHER DOWNLOAD AN APP TO YOUR PHONE OR USE IT THROUGH TEXT MESSAGES.
EITHER WAY, YOU GIVE SOMEONE YOUR UNIQUE DUB-ID AND IT PUTS YOUR BUSINESS CARD INFO INTO THEIR ADDRESS BOOK AND VICE VERSA.
THE APP IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR BLACKBERRY, GPHONE IPHONE AND WINDOWS MOBILE.
FOR THIS TO REALLY TAKE OFF LOTS OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO USE IT...
RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS MORE PEOPLE ARE LINKING UP ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER.
A LOT OF NETWORKING THESE DAYS IS DUE TO LAYOFF AND JOB SEARCHES.
THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IS ALWAYS A BIG TIME FOR JOB SEARCH SITES.
HITWISE TAKING A LOOK AT THE TOP PLACES TO SEARCH FOR JOBS ONLINE...
AT NUMBER 5 IT'S USAJOBS...
NUMBER 4 IS MONSTER
3 IS YAHOO HOTJOBS..
BARELY EDGING THAT OUT IS INDEED DOT COM...
WHICH PULLS LISTINGS FROM MULTIPLE SITES...
THE TOP JOB SITE IN JANUARY - CAREERBUILDER.
ACCORDING TO THE SURVEY - SOME RISING STARS TO CHECK OUT INCLUDE SNAG A JOB, LINKED IN AND SIMPLY HIRED.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
IF YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH WEATHER...
ACCU-WEATHER'S NEW STRATUS WIDGET COULD BE NICE LITTLE ADDITION TO YOUR DESKTOP.
THE SMALL DOWNLOADABLE APP SITS ON YOUR DESKTOP AND DISPLAYS CURRENT CONDITIONS AND FIVE DAY FORECASTS FOR 65-THOUSAND LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD - NOT ALL AT ONCE THOUGH.
STRATUS ALSO PROVIDES SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS.
THE APP MAKES USE OF ADOBE AIR'S GROWING POPULARITY AS A MULTI-PLATFORM WAY FOR DEVELOPERS TO HARNESS THE POWER OF THE WEB WITHOUT A BROWSER.
FINALLY - IF YOU'VE EVER GOTTEN TWITTER BACKGROUND ENVY WHILE VISITING A PERFECTLY DESIGNED PAGE...
FREE-TWITTER DESIGNER CAN HELP.
THE SITE HELPS YOU CREATE A GREAT TWITTER BACKGROUND IN SECONDS...
START WITH A BLANK PAGE OR PREMADE DESIGN...
THEN ADD TEXT, SHAPES AND IMAGES.
THE SITE LETS YOU SEE YOUR HANDY WORK IN REAL TIME...
A GHOSTED TWITTER OVERLAY GIVES YOU A REAL-TIME PREVIEW.
DOWNLOAD YOUR FINISHED JPEG AND UPLOAD IT TO TWITTER AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
THE SITE DOES ADD A SMALL SELF-PROMOTIONAL LOGO TO YOUR BACKGROUND...
BUT IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THE SHORTCUT.
THAT DOES IT FOR THIS EDITION...
