This article features some of the more useful and free desktop graphics editors I've come across whether you're creating/editing an icon, a vector file or otherwise. I hope that everyone finds this article useful, and I also hope that it's read before you shell out $300 for a commercial graphic editor elsewhere.

Looking for the best way to drive a massive amount of traffic to my site and my blog, I've recently stumbled upon a very interesting article about Craigslist. I've always been considering it a very primitive website, as far as the design is concerned. However, Craigslist ranks among the 25 most visited sites of the world (Alexa.com traffic rankings, april 2009) and without any doubt it's the most important classified ads platform worldwide. I know that Google Adwords is very effective, other similar advertising programs are good too, but what if we could produce the same amount of traffic (or even more) using Craigslist for free? The idea is creating an appealing advertisement (with a link pointing to our website) and posting it in multiple sections of Craigslist corresponding to the major cities of the world (highly populated cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc.). This will certainly produce a massive traffic flow. The problem is that if we post the same ad (or similar ads) in multiple cities, all our ads will be detected by Craigslist spiderbots and deleted by the staff. Even if we offer serious products we will be considered spammers, and if we insist, we will be banned .... ..... and this will happen unless we use the method discovered by Steve Mount to avoid being detected by the spiderbots and to avoid being deleted.

People always used to search for names of the person on Google search, but the results can be varied and aren't always what you want. The might be not exact bcoz someone else with your name can also been shown on the result page. This makes people search more complicated over the years. Now using Google Profiles finding people on Google search becomes easier.

Time and time again I find myself trying to remember a bit of PHP or CSS code that I've used before to perform some sort of function. This is why most any web developer needs a code snippet application to archive those bits of code. In this article I bring attention to Snippley, a fantastic Adobe Air desktop application, and also Snipt, which is a web application based around a community to boot.

Of course it is good to talk about moving fully online from desktop but for now online apps offer us more desktop apps to use with Meebo as the latest example.

There's a lot of potential here in just about every aspect of web use - personal and professional.

How to use Facebook in Google Wave - Video + manual

I've said already that I bought at 16GB memory card for the new phone which is a lot - I had 1GB before, so… what will I do with all that space? I'm not going to use it for video and 16GB is room for something like 250 hours of MP3s or 500 hours of WMAs: I own roughly 200 albums, so it's a fair bet they'd fit. Photos - well maybe I'd keep a few hundred MB on the phone. In any event, I don't want to fill the card completely. After a trip out with no card in the my camera I keep a SD-USB card adapter on my key-ring so I always have both a USB stick and a memory card : currently this uses my old micro-SD card in an full size SD adapter. If I need more than 1GB I can whip the card out of the phone, pop it in the adapter and keep shooting

Twitter is an online social networking tool in which users post 140 character updates of what is going on in their lives along with links to things they think are interesting, funny, or useful to their followers ("following" being essentially what "friending" is on other sites). People use twitter in many ways, some as a newsfeed by following prominent people or networks, some as a pseudo-chatroom by limiting their followers and whom they follow to close friends and family, and some as a microblog for updating people about the work they are doing and their personal lives.
