My Top 10 Favorite Internet Tools Jim Edwards

When you spend 6-10 hours a day on the Internet like I do,you can sometimes forget that the tools and resources youuse everyday (and take for granted) might rate anincredibly helpful discovery to people who don't alreadyknow they exist. Whether they help you save time, find what you need, orsave a lot of money, these tools and services rate myhighest recommendation for just plain making life easier,faster, and cheaper.** Short Keys ** Available for free trial at www.shortkeys.com/lite.htm,Short Keys allows you to create shortcut keys to cut downon repetitive typing tasks. You can pre-program it quicklyand easily to type in huge chunks of text. I use it primarily to quickly respond to questions Ireceive repeatedly each day because it allows me to respondpersonally, but also saves hours of time typing the sameanswers over and over.** Spyware Detection & Removal **Spyware ranks a close second behind viruses as the topthreat to your security online. Viruses can destroy yourcomputer, but spyware can destroy your life! Though many programs exist to detect and combat spyware, Ipersonally prefer "Spy Sweeper" from www.WebRoot.com. ** Mail Washer **Available for free trial at www.mailwasher.net, thisprogram enables you to spot and delete spam and virusesbefore downloading them to your computer. I couldn't survive without this program and it rates thebest $30 investment you can make to combat spam!** PayPal **If you want to send or receive money online (personal orbusiness), PayPal.com gets my highest recommendation. PayPal experienced service issues a few years ago, butsince online auction giant eBay purchased them,www.PayPal.com is extremely professional and well managed.** GoDaddy.com **Cheap, reliable, easy to use domain name registrar thatonly charges $8.95 per year for each domain name youregister. Also, enhanced security against domain "hijacking" means Ipurchase all my domains through GoDaddy.** Elance.com **With an entire world of professional help available online,even the smallest business can afford to hire out for justabout any type of help you can imagine.An online auction style site, Elance.com allows serviceproviders to bid on your job and you select them based onprice, experience, and feedback on previous jobs.** Google **www.Google.com still rates as the Web's best searchengine. When I need to find something online, Googleusually produces exactly what I need to locate!** Front Page **Say what you want about Microsoft, but the FrontPage htmleditor has served me well for the last 7 years (andcounting). Though I don't use the more advanced features, Ican always count on FrontPage to help me get web pages donequickly.** Smart FTP **Log on to www.smartftp.com and download a free copy of theeasiest FTP program I've ever used. If you need to transfer files to and from a web server andyou know how to use Windows Explorer, Smart FTP will enableyou to upload files to the web like a pro in minutes.** Note Tab Light **Perhaps my favorite tool of all. Note Tab enables me to easily format text messages for mynewsletters, manipulate html code and remove formattingfrom word processing documents.
