If you are a Tumblr then you would be happy to know that you can post to tumblr from your mobile phone.

On the Tumblr Goodies page has mobile apps for download for Android, Blackberry and iPhone. The official Symbian app is not there but do not despair there is Symbian app which allows you to post to tumblr directly from a symbian phone and it is called Stumblr which I plan to use and I will post a review once I’m done.

Other events in 1984

Today

The first Apple Macintosh was introduced on January 24, 1984, the year I passed out from school. The video shows how far we have come as far as computers are concerned.

For a little more fun and nostalgia check out the advertisement that accompanied the launch.

It is amazing that the advertisement was made in 1984 - 26 years back. If the same advertisement was created today it would be approved by most of the businesses.

When you are travelling or you are based outside of US when you type the url http://www.google.com you are taken to the local version of Google. For example if you are in Brazil and type http://www.google.com in a browser you are taken to http://www.google.com.br which you might not want as you want to see what is popular across the Internet and not what is popular in Brazil.

Solution for using Google.com as default Google page

The good thing there is cure for this problem. All you need to do is go to http://www.google.com/ncr and you will be taken to Google.com. Does this mean that you will have to type in the URL http://www.google.com/ncr every time you want to visit Google.com. The answer is no. Once you use http://www.google.com/ncr a cookie (yum!) is set in your browser which takes you to Google.com when you put in the URL http://www.google.com.

This trick is very helpful for Search Engine Professionals and Social Media Marketing professionals as they can measure the progress of the ranking of the website they are working on across the world.

Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office brings collaborative multi-person editing to the familiar Microsoft® Office experience. You can share, backup, and simultaneously edit Microsoft Word, PowerPoint®, and Excel® documents with coworkers using Google Docs

Since using Google Cloud Connect is easy the learning curve is not there. Usually most of the users will know or would be using Microsoft Office or Google Docs, Google Cloud Connect makes it easier to use the two in conjunction and I do not see a reason why someone would not use it. This move will surely bring in new customers to Google Docs who never really felt the need to store documents online but with Google Cloud Connect having a copy of the documents online becomes a breeze.
