Better Searches

If there were a "Top 10 Uses of the Internet", I am confident that the Number 1 use would be "Searching for information". Sadly, many of us limit those searches to one search engine. The reason is because, using several search engines is time consuming and awkward.
Sites which aggregate searches are one option but not ideal.
Now there is a better way. How about having the results of your search all on one tabbed page?
You only have to enter your search term once and you can refine it by searching "the Web", "blogs", "Images" etc
"Zuula" is a really great tool and can help to make you a web search expert. This is the link...

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2008 FREE!

This month, Computer Active magazine is giving away "Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2008". The offer expires on October 11th so you will need to download and get the activation key before that date. (The offer could be withdrawn earlier too). WinOptimizer is a "tweaker", so the usual warnings apply. Used with care, it should keep your computer running more smoothly. This program is valued at £25, plus you get the option to upgrade to WinOptimizer 4 for only £7.49 instead of the normal retail price of £30. All together quite a bargain. You will need to go to the Computer Active website and follow the download instructions. www.computeractive.co.uk/winopt/index Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

My Favourite Widget

Widgets are great little programs which can make your computer much more fun to use. When I help people who are moving from dial-up to Broadband, I love to show them the new world of streaming audio and video which has opened up for them. In the UK some of the best content comes from the BBC and we can listen to BBC radio while we work. Accessing the stations can be a bit of a pain though......unless you have a widget! For this to work you will need real player and windows media player already installed because the widget uses both of those programs. Unless you have already done so, you also need to install the Yahoo widget engine which you can download here http://widgets.yahoo.com Then you can get BBC Radio Player Plus here http://tinyurl.com/2vlrez Now you have easy access to a whole new audio world. If you are new to widgets it is well worth taking time to explore what else is available. [NB The BBC widget only works in the UK but there are many others suitable for readers in othe...
