Social Folders is a free client-server application with the stated purpose of helping you organize online content. Social Folders lets you create a local backup of your online data and can upload files to your social networking accounts. You are also able to transfer files amongst your social networking accounts. All you have to do is connect your social accounts with this service.

Organize Online Content in One Place

The premise behind Social Folders is that as long as you have it running (by default, it loads at startup), it will silently connect to a range of your social content online. Sites such as Flickr, Photobucket, Google Docs, and YouTube, are a few of the sites that the makers of the software say it works with.

When you upload new images or documents to the sites that you add to your Social Folders account, the program makes note of the upload and, once the upload completes, notifies you that you have just uploaded content to one of your monitored services. I don’t know about you, but if I just went through the steps to upload images to my Photobucket or Flickr account, or took the time to upload a video clip to my YouTube feed, I don’t need a program to tell me that I’ve just done that.

New Online Content Stored in Social Folder Locally

Here’s another program feature that I don’t understand. I’ve just uploaded a number of images from my hard drive to Flickr or Photobucket. This means I have them stored on my hard drive already. So, why do I need to have them downloaded to another folder, on my hard drive? That just takes up extra space. If you take a large number of pictures and upload them to your sites, you’re going to run out of hard drive space pretty quickly.

Problems Experienced with the Software

When I initially downloaded and installed the software, I uploaded images to my Photobucket account and copied other images to my Social Folders Photobucket folder on my hard drive. I then told the program to refresh my services. Nothing happened. No photos were downloaded from my Photobucket account to my Social Folders Photobucket folder locally. The images I manually copied to the local folder weren’t uploaded, either. After completely uninstalling and reinstalling the software twice, it will now download images from my Flickr and Photobucket accounts to the local folder, but it still isn’t uploading images to either account when I copy images to the local folder. But I also have three folders each for Flickr and Photobucket on my hard drive.

I sent the developers a message regarding the issues I’ve been having, thinking that maybe it was an issue the software has with my 64-bit version of Windows Ultimate. They told me the software has no known issues with any operating systems and that they will look into it. They also verified the path to my Photobucket and Flickr folders.

These are the only services I use that the software works with. I have literally thousands of photos on them, plus on my Facebook account, which I didn’t connect to Social Folders. Currently, I have over 3 gigabytes of images on Photobucket alone. All of them are also stored locally on my drive in a special images folder.

If Social Folders were to have worked the way it reads, I would now have each and every one of those images stored in four different folders on my computer. That doesn’t count the ten to fifteen gigabytes of video clips I have on YouTube (again, not connected). I can keep track of what images I have uploaded to my accounts quite well, without needing to have multiple copies of them on my system. I just don’t see the need for a program like this, unless it were to only store shortcuts to the images, which would save huge amounts of hard drive space on my system.

FeedMyInbox provides you a free service where you can subscribe to feeds from your favorite websites. Though the limit on the free account subscriptions is 5 websites. FeedMyIndex gives you real time feeds from various websites you have subscribed to. It is not at all necessary that the website you are subscribing through FeedMyInbox has a RSS feed option. FeedMyInbox has software that can convert a URL into RSS feeds where whatever is updated on the website will come to you as a feed in your mailbox.

How to subscribe to real time feeds:

• Firstly, go to website where you will find a box to put your website URL and also your email address.

• After you give your email address you will be asked for the specific feed you want to receive on your email because there can be more than one type of feed available from any website. The types you want to select can be done by selecting them from the list provided.

• Once you click the submit button the application will send you a confirmation email to your email address where you have to confirm that you are the one who selected the FeedMyInbox application.

• The best thing about FeedMyInbox is that it allows the users to subscribe to more than one feed from any particular website and along with it also allows adding more websites from which you want to receive further feeds.
• On the other hand the downside is that it allows only 1 feed per day from a single type of feed from any website unless you log in as a user in the website of FeedMyInbox. When you sign up for the FeedMyInbox you are still allowed only 5 feeds per subject and hence your work is limited to certain extent.
• You can remove this limitation by paying a premium price and can get unlimited access to huge number of feeds.
• Once the feed arrives in your mailbox you can get to view all the details of updates on any website just by reading through or if possible by clicking the link that gives access to the whole description of the feed.
• For ease of use you can add the bookmarklet provided by FeedMyInbox to your bookmarks bar.

Overall, FeedMyInbox is a good app to get real time feeds. Try this app out before opting for any other just for their great method of providing you with latest updates of your favorite websites.

Eassos PartitionGuru is a free software to manage partitions on your system and help with data recovery. Partitions are ways to divide a hard drive or other type of storage media. Thinking of your hard drive as a house, the partitions on it would correspond to the various rooms in the house. A partition manager is a type of software that allows you to work with these partitions. Some partition managers only allow you to create and delete partitions. However, Eassos PartitionGuru is a much more powerful manager.

Lost Data Recovery:

Sometimes something catastrophic happens and you end up losing data. Files and partitions get deleted, either accidentally or because of some sort of catastrophic failure. Usually, when a partition or file is lost, the data is still there, but the file system pointers have been corrupted or removed. PartitionGuru can help you recover from most problems like these. It can help you recover a lost or deleted partition, as well as deleted files. If you have been careful to use the software to create backups and restore points with the software, and you’re not able to recover the lost partition or files. Then you can use PartitionGuru to restore your system to the state it was in when you created the last backup or restore point.

Works with Multiple Drive Types:

Many pieces of software of this type only work on physical hard drives. PartitionGuru works on hard drives, USB flash drives, and media cards. The software works on both MBR-type partitions and GUID Partition Table (GPT)-type partitions, supporting up to 9.4 zettabytes. Whether your drive or media is formatted in File Allocation Table (FAT) 16 or 32, New Technology File System (NTFS), PartitionGuru will work with it.

Many people who are considered ‘power users’ like to try out new software in a virtual environment. This allows them to use the software and not worry about viruses, corruptions, or other errors making it so they can’t use their computer. Many partition managers won’t work with software such as VMWare, VirtualBox and Virtual PC, but PartitionGuru does.

Advanced Features of PartitionGuru :

PartitionGuru has a number of advanced tools that provide you with a variety of useful information. There’s a data allocation table that allows you to see the level of fragmentation on your drive without running a different utility. Some of the other information that’s available from the software includes the overall capacity of the drive, the amount of space that is used and available, the total number and size of the cluster on the drive, used and free clusters, and a large amount of other information.

The Negatives :

Eassos PartitionGuru is a pretty cool little piece of software, but even if you decide to purchase the paid professional version, it doesn’t allow you to resize partitions on the fly. This means that if you move or change the size of a partition on your hard drive, you’re likely to lose much of the data on the drive.

The only warning concerning data loss that I saw while playing with the software was as I was installing it I was told that if I had data to recover, I needed to make sure to not install the software on the partition where the missing data is at.

DailyMotion Mass Uploader is a free tool to batch upload videos to the DailyMotion website. DailyMotion is providing competition to YouTube in the video hosting arena. DailyMotion allows slightly better categorization of uploaded videos. Being newer, it also doesn’t have the lag that YouTube has due to the millions of visitors per hour it receives. The DailyMotion Mass Uploader is a tool that will allow you to batch upload videos to DailyMotion.

Small Installer Package, Surprise Free Installation

Unlike many of the tools available for YouTube, DailyMotion Mass Uploader is produced by the same people who brought you the DailyMotion website. This means you can more readily trust the contents of the installer package don’t contain malicious software in them. The installer utility is small, at less than a megabyte and a half. Unlike many freeware and shareware software packages, this one doesn’t try to install toolbars, change your homepage, or change your preferred search engine as you install the program. This is a pleasant surprise. Many shareware/freeware coders help support themselves by adding these nasty little surprises to their installer packages, getting paid by third parties in the process.

Batch Upload Videos tool has Uncluttered Intuitive User Interface

I really liked the interface for DailyMotion Mass Uploader. There’s no learning curve. Install and launch the program, and you’re a few clicks away from uploading as many videos as you want to the DailyMotion website. Multi-select, using either the Control or Shift key, is enabled, of course, making selection of a number of videos easier. I would have been very disappointed if this feature had not been enabled. Once the files have been selected, the first one automatically begins to upload. Upload speeds are mostly limited to the speed of your outbound connection.

Add Tags, Descriptions, and Categories on the Fly

By default, the title of your uploaded videos will be their filenames. You can change this during the upload though. You can also assign the video to a channel during the upload. If you have any tags you wish to add to help people find your videos, these, as well as a detailed description, can also be added during the video upload process.

What I Don’t Like

DailyMotion is a subscription/membership service. This means, that unlike YouTube, you are required to have a DailyMotion account before you can start posting videos. On YouTube, you only need to have an account to help people find and follow you and your videos.

Also, DailyMotion Mass Uploader doesn’t seem to know how to count very well. As you can see from my screenshot, I added four files to my upload queue. However, the program said I added three. Notice, it says three in the queue, with zero completed or failed. Also, it seems to not count the file being actively uploaded. These seems like simple problems, but they make me wonder what else is wrong?

Today Google said that Youtube reached a new milestone: 60 hours of video upload per minute, and 4 billion video views per day. Those numbers are just amazing. Now that MegaVideo is gone, some of that traffic would also be coming to YouTube.

Youtube is one of the most popular websites on the web, and it does lot of things right. However, there are some things I hope YouTube did better.

Here is my wish list from YouTube:

1. Give an Option for “Next Video”

Most of the times I go to YouTube, it is to see some show that I might have missed. Recently I was flocking it to watch Golden Globes Awards. Most of such videos are broken down into several parts, and this is where my pain area starts. When I finish watching one part, there is no option for me to see which is the next part of the video. The guys who upload videos do a good job at naming videos, and I am most of the times able to make out the next part from the name. But sometimes lot of videos are uploaded for same show (like, was the case with Golden Globe), and everyone follows same convention. So, sometimes it becomes difficult just figuring out next part of the video.

So, my first wish is that YouTube provided an option somewhere called “Next Video”. The guys who upload video could use this option to specify which is the next video after this. That would have made things a lot simpler.

(I realize that this information can be added in “description”, but there needs to be standardized way for it that everyone can know about).

2. Wrap Those Titles, silly

I would even go ahead and call this a bug. If the headlines for videos are really long, YouTube doesn’t wraps them. That means I am not even able to sometime see what the complete video title is. See this screenshot:

So, my second wish from YouTube is to wrap the video titles so that I can easily see what is the complete title (and do not have to mouse over each of them just to read the title).

3. Give me a Decent Video Creation Software

I am sometimes surprised by the fact that YouTube does not provides any desktop software to create videos. It does features some tools that you can use to create and edit videos, but most of them are online. I really wish it provides something that makes it easy for me to record my screencasts or webcam videos. After recording the software should have built-in editing features, built-in features to add description and annotations. And most importantly, it should have an integrated YouTube uploader that could easily upload my videos in the background. In case internet connection breaks in between, it should have an option to resume upload.

So, my third wish from YouTube is to provide some native desktop video creation software.

4. Video Suggestions at End of Video

This is something that Youtube earlier did right, and has now messed it up. When a video ends, Youtube shows suggests in the video pane. Earlier it used to show 4 suggestions at a time, with the complete title of the videos. That was a really simple and usable approach. In the stroke of genius, Youtube took that away. Instead, Youtube shows a tile of photos which do not have title on them. Somehow from a single picture of the video I am supposed to interpret what the video is about??

So, my fourth wish from Youtube is to get the old approach back, and take away this new overwhelming tile of photos.

5. Live Webcasting

This is my last wish from Youtube: provide some option of live webcasting. I could use it for online broadcasting, for having live interviews, for conducting online meetings, and lot more. I understand that it might be quite complicated to implement, so I mentioned this as last one. But if Youtube does implements it, boy, it would be so cool.

So, here are my 5 wishes from Youtube that I hope Santa (Google) listens to, and decides to implement.

What The Font is a free website to identify a font. You can upload image of the font, and What The Font will show the fonts that are closest match to the one used in that image. It is completely free, and nothing to download.

Yesterday, I reviewed a similar service to Identify font from image. After that, I came across What The Font, and decided to test this also to identify a font. I find it very similar in usage to WhatFontIs, but with some subtle differences.

How to Identify a Font with What The Font:

• As I mentioned earlier, What The Font is completely free. To identify a font, just go to WhatTheFont. Here, you can upload the image which has the font that you are trying to identify. You can also provide URL of the image.
• For optimal identification of fonts, it is recommended that characters in the image should be as horizontal as possible, with a height of around 100 px. Also, characters should not be touching each other.
• Once you have uploaded the image, What The Font will try to recognize the characters from the image. With each character of the image, it will show what it believes is that actual character. You need to validate that. In case it did not identify some character correctly, you can manually provide the correct character.
• After that, What The Font will show you matching fonts. It will also show your original text in those matching fonts, so that you can see which is the closest match.
• When you are able to find the font, just click on it to get more information. For some fonts, What The Font also provides option to purchase directly, otherwise it redirects you to external store.
• However, I wasn’t able to find any option to see just free fonts, like there was in WhatFontIs. I found that a big limitation.

Nevertheless, What The Font works very well. Once you are able to identify a font, you can just Google it to find some website that has it available for free download.

So, if you are a designer, and are having a hard time in identifying a font, give What The Font a shot. Also check out Font Comparison software.
