TRICK#1: YOUR OWN INTRANET! CYBER MAGIC TRICKS
TRICK#1: YOUR OWN INTRANET! In today's age of virtual organizations, this great site can quarterback your business life! That's a big trick and these folks perform it while you take the credit for being a genius! The intranet they provide is ideal for business, community organizations -- in short any organization with folks under more than one roof that needs to get organized! With the cost of developing and hosting a conventional private intranet ranging up into the stratosphere this virtual service inexpensively provides a structure with everything you will need to keep everyone on the same page! Tools like Calendar, Document and Task sharing and tracking, Group Announcements, On-line Discussions and even extranet capabilities are all right at your fingertips. All of this and more -- at a very modest cost with complete and easy customization and synchronization. Great use of the Web!
TRICK#2: ROBO TYPE! Not all of us are great typists. If you hate to type this is a really neat trick! For that matter this trick will even save the speed typists some time! We got tired of typing: National Real Estate CyberSpace Convention and Exposition and other mouthfuls all the time. So we went out and found this little utility that makes typing repetitive words, phrases or even pages of copy a breeze. Big time saver! Now you can do what MS Word does with their auto tying but in any program, anywhere! This free software was developed by the folks at PC Magazine and takes about 3 minutes to download and set up. Great keyboard magic trick -- and the price is right!

GREAT PLACE #1: WATCH THE WORLD GROW!http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/clock2.html Ever wonder how many new people were added to the population of the United States in the last minute? We hadn't either until we checked out this neat site. Here you will find a spellbinding digital counter that shows the population of the US as it grows instant by instant. The companion counter shows the comparable world population change in real time. Great way to verify that real estate is a solid investment! If your system doesn't warm up to Java you can go to: http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html and get the same information but not in the same intriguing visual format.

GREAT PLACE #2: CATCH SPIES! We're always on the lookout for spies! "Spyware" is any technology that aids in gathering information about you without your knowledge. There are lots of ways for spyware, or "adware" as it is sometimes called, to infiltrate our lives. One of them is through software (usually free) that we download from the Internet. This great place brings you a database of Spyware products. The information is maintained on a daily basis and new software titles are added or removed as needed. Information is gathered from Internet sources, ad companies and reliable sources in the software distribution industry. If you are about to download a neat new free program and want to see if there are any spies lurking in its confines check with these folks for their take on any potential skullduggery!
