Readability via TechBite Newsletter

I subscribe to Steve Bass's free newsletter http://www.techbite.com/
TechBite, via email. In the April 29, 2009 issue, he his first of "Five Cool Web Services You Have to Try" is Readability: Read Web Pages Without Clutter.

To set up and install Readability in your web browser, just go to the Readability site:
http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

I agree with Steve's opinion "Arc90 calls Readability an experiment. I say it's a keeper. Get more details at the Readability blog.", there is also a link to a video ( http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=N77Zi&m=1aE1rq.PRpu37q&b=u3V8LDaV9ufkUme485Ophw ) in his article, but I can not say if it is helpful or not, as my access is blocked, where I was reading the newsletter.

I have installed this bookmarklet in both Firefox and IE7 at work, and intend to also install in my personal laptop, desktop, and portable browsers, as well. Thanks Steve Bass, great find.

Social Media 101 via Punctuality Rules

Punctuality Rules is one of the RSS feeds I check on a regular basis.

The main focus is grammar, but today's post is about a guest post at Soc Media 101 about Live vs. Lay, and a link to their free ebook Finding Your Voice in a Crowded World, which I found to be very informative.

I have added Soc Media 101, to my Google Reader feeds so I can keep up with the social media tips and how-to posts.

Email Rules and Cartoon

I follow PC Magazine on Twitter, which is where I found a link to the 09Apr09 Article "The 25 Golden Rules of E-Mail".

I tweeted back that this should be required reading. Numbers 6, 7, 8, 9 and 15, address some of my pet peeves regarding email.

I thought the cartoon below from xkcd.com fit right in.

BRCS Webmail / Screentoaster

I just made up a quick how to screencast, using Screentoaster, on how to change your BRCS Webmail password.

BRCS recently had to change hosts, and the yourname@brcs.org emails did not transfer over. The password for all of those address has been changed to brcsmail, so you must log in and change your password to gain access to any emails that have come in since the change over.
