Brighter Tail Lights In Your Future
Seeing in the dark is one of the most important safety factors when driving at night. Everyone thinks about bright headlights, but few people think about the rear tail lights. Seeing in the dark isn’t all about you, it’s also about other people. Your safety depends on them seeing you. This is where new led tail lights come in. They are brighter and more efficient than other lights and with their long life you won’t have to worry about your taillights fading. That’s a good bonus.
Encrypt Your Files And Win
Encryption is very important these days. If you store important information on your usb drives (and who doesn’t), it can be very bad if you lose it. That’s where encryption comes in. Encryption ensures that someone else can’t access the files.
The problem with encryption, though, is that it seems so difficult to implement. This is why I love SecureZIP Express. It’s from the inventors of the Zip protocol. It’s an easy to use and, most importantly, free program to not only encrypt your files but also compress them. You can download it straight from www.securezip.com. This really is a must have utility on your computer.
To help promote this great utility, they are running a contest called Decrypt and Drive. It’s a great contest where you can win a lot of different prizes like gas cards, wiis, bike and even a Honda scooter. You just have to visit www.DecryptandDrive.com to play the game and get a chance to win a great prize.
Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Messenger Clients
It’s hard keeping track of all of my messenger accounts. I have one AIM account, I have 4 Yahoo Messenger accounts, I have 1 MSN messenger account, and I have a couple of Google Talk accounts. I don’t like running several different clients at once. In fact, if I use my Yahoo messenger client, I can only be logged into one account at a time. I love being productive so this is a no go.
I guess this is why I use the free and open source client called Pidgin. It allows me to connect to as many different accounts as I want to without any hassles. This means I can easily keep in contact with my friends and business associates.
Friend Feed
I have been doing a little bit of work lately on trying to find new ways to connect with friends and new ways to handle all of the RSS feeds that I have at my disposal. It’s hard to keep track of them, much less use them on a regular basis. This is why I just love my specially made Friend Feed.
Friend Feed is an exciting way to keep track of all of your feed and then be able to share them with other people. It’s a great way to connect with other people and a great way to disseminate information and articles that you’ve written.
I am looking forward to adding even more of my feeds to my Friend Feed over the next few days. I know I can add many of my social bookmarks as well as many of the niche sites that I am running. It should be great.

Anti Spam Tool For Small Businesses
Spam is major problem these days. Not only are they unwanted emails, but they are also emails filled with viruses, trojans, phishing attempts and unwanted images. It’s not surprising that email protection is an important part of any business, whether it is web based or based in the brick and mortar world.
Barracuda is considered to be the best spam filtering solution available for email, but before it has been a tough system to manage for small and medium sized business. Only big businesses have been able to benefit from the Barracuda Spam firewall. Not anymore. Hosted Barracuda solutions from Perimetec have opened up the spam filtering awesomeness of Barracuda to business large and small.
I knew spam is expensive, but I never knew just how expensive it was before I checked out the Perimetec Spam cost calculator. It’s a real eye opener, but once you start to think about it, you realize just how true it is. So much time every day is wasted on spam.
I think Perimetec’s Hosted Barracuda solution is a great idea. Small businesses can sign on to have Perimetec host their email on their servers where they can keep everything working well and keep spam from ever hitting their company’s servers. It’s a very positive solution for just a few dollars a month.
