Here are two great websites for you to check out. The first is going to show you stacks of ways to get things done; the second is what I consider one of the best ‘tech news blogs’ around!
Lifehacker
http://lifehacker.com
Lifehacker is a superb website; all about; “tech tricks, tips and downloads for getting things done!”
GigaOm
http://gigaom.com
Om Malik’s superb blog is considered by many to be one of the best tech news blogs available. It delivers news, analysis and opinions on everything from web 2.0 and who’s buying who – to broadband and game reviews, Established in 2006, the blog and it’s associated sites already have over one and a half million people reading them each month.
Twitter
http://twitter.com
This micro-blogging service is superb. I use it, I like it and I recommend it! The magic of Twitter is that it’s extremely simple to use and highly valuable. Valuable? Well, I have used Twitter to get answers to ‘tech problems,’ I have used it to ‘poll people’ for research and I have used it to drive traffic to this blog (all in the past 60 minutes!) Need I say more?

1. I agree, they do offer neat tips and tricks.
2. Never heard of, but I’ll look
3. I use Twitter, but I’m not all about it like a lot of fans. I just don’t see myself needing to tell how everything is going every second or minute. I like give an update maybe a day or two.
Hello Quikboy,
Twitter is different things to different people. Some, like The BBC and some online video channels, use it as a way to get traffic to their blogs and websites. Others, use it as a way to get answers to tech support problems. Others use it to keep in touch, rather than email or IM.
Though there are some people who use Twitter to tell people they are just about to eat their lunch or take the dog for a walk – you don;t need to follow them. Follow people with similar interests and you can gain lots from Twitter.
