Web 2.0 Selfcast

Oh Boy, have I got a great site for you. Selfcast is a new service which allows anyone to broadcast their own internet TV channel. I'm sure that you can imagine the dross that now becomes available! But... this fantastic site (like all good sites of this type) allows the cream to rise to the top. You will need to download and install the software PLUS you need a good internet connection and up to date computer. Once you have things set up, take a look at the "Speakers Corner" channel. This is sometimes live and sometimes recorded material from Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, London. If you have ever been there, you will know that it is one of the greatest FREE shows that the Capital has to offer. The quality of the program is definitely low but this is more than made up for by the entertainment value. [Some is definitely not safe for work or your blood pressure]. I do urge you to take a look and don't forget that YOU can broadcast yourself too. Here is the link. Let me know what you think.

You can't be too careful! - Free Software

With all the nasty people out there on the Net, you can't be too careful. However, don't let that put you off downloading and trying out new software. After all, that's part of the Fun of having a computer in the first place. Sadly, its all too easy to get spyware, adware or worse, along with your download. Number one recommendation is to be careful where you get your downloads. Even if you know the name of the program that you are looking for, don't just go into Google and click on the first search link that pops up. Go to a reputable site instead. One that has a good reputation is "Download.com". Now go there and download "Spyware Terminator". This free program has just been awarded Web User Magazine's Gold Award. This is the link: http://tinyurl.com/2ox8n5 You will want to scan your computer straight away. Don't be surprised if it turns up some nasties that you didn't know were in your system. Just to be on the safe side, don't de...

Superb Free Software

Most of us have times when we need some help with our computer. I am sure that, if you are computer literate, your friends will often ask for help. Most of us would then have to make a journey to our friend's house to sort out the problem. It would be lovely to take control of their computer remotely, but that is very tricky indeed. At least, that was the case. Now we have a fantastic tool called "Cross Loop". If you go to www.crossloop.com you can download the free Cross Loop Application. With the software downloaded to both computers, it is a really simple matter to connect across the internet. The helper can then see a "window" which is the other computer's desktop. The helper can control that computer as if it was their own. I would strongly suggest that you, and the computer users you care about, download Cross Loop now. You never know when you may need it. Here is the link again www.crossloop.com It is certainly one of my "Top Ten" programs....
