Acrobat.com

This is really cool. Adobe has put together some really nice collaboration online tools, such as Buzzword, ConnectNow, Create PDF, Share, and My Files. Creating your own account is free. I think I will need to plan on using these tools more and more. The interfaces are really good looking and are based on Flex.

All Flex Explorers

From time to time I need to look at examples and samples of some things that are possible to do with Flex. Here is one person's list of so called Flex Explorers which I think is very good.

Firefox 3 Features

I will keep this list of new Firefox 3 features handy so I can learn to use it better. Since Firefox is the one application I use the most, I should definitely learn to use it better.

Freshbooks

Just in case you are in need of an online accounting package, I have heard and read very good reviews about Freshbooks. In their own words: "FreshBooks is an online invoicing and time tracking service that saves you time and makes you look professional..."

The Web20Show.com interviewed one of its leaders and he sound very cool and funny and is a very down-to-earth guy.

First Signs: SMS Getting Cheaper

It has long been argued that present SMS rates are excessively expensive in contrast to other data transfer services. Now there is a story coming out of the Philippines that Telcos are being pressured to reduce their rates. If your services depend on SMS, now may be a good time to look overseas for your SMS provider.

My Tech Needs

I have started a new blog to better describe what my current technology needs are for my own personal projects. I like the wordpress format for blogs because you can more readily see other people's comments. My new blog will contain any solution which I am looking for and any suggestions from my readers. As I put together my personal projects, I often run into nice things to have but which I cannot locate or do not yet exist. Perhaps you can provide me one of these solutions and we can mutually profit.
