We will discuss about eFax which allows you to Send and receive fax directly from your mail box without Fax machine and they also provide fax numbers in more than 40 countries, like USA, UK, Italy, Germany, India too etc.
The purpose of writing this blog is let you know about this service, you can keep in mind and use it whenever you require. There are so many providers who provide facility to receive fax without a fax machine, i.e. directly to your email. But they charge your from 2$ to 5$ per message. We have found one website by which you can receive fax in your email, when anybody sends you fax to your unique US FAX number.
They will provide your desired FAX incoming number randomly.
You need to give this number to your friend to send you a fax.
To read
Whenever your friend send you fax ,it will directly come to your email id, as an attachment.
To view that attachment you need to download one software(E FAX messenger) which is available free of cost on their website. msgrplus.exe (i2 Global communications, Inc.)
Install the software and validate with your login.
Now just open the attachment with the software. You have your fax with you.
They will ask you to upgrade to premium service but it is optional. So enjoy this free service with high quality FAX receiving. There is no time lag in receiving the fax, you will receive the fax immediately.
When you open Outlook in XP and Vista, the default folder that you get to view is the Inbox. In some versions of Outlook, like XP or 2003, Outlook will open up to the "Outlook Today" page. You can change the folder that Outlook should start up with in the settings and I'll show you how to do that here. This is really useful sometimes because not everyone keeps their most important emails in the Inbox. If you are someone who likes to respond to all your important emails in the morning, you may have a folder called "Pending" that you try to clear out each day, so it would be better for you to go straight to that folder to begin working.
Change startup folder in Outlook: Step 1: Go to Tools and click on Options.
Step 2: Click on the Other tab and then click on the Advanced Options button.
Step 3: Under General Settings, you'll see the option "Startup in this folder" and it will either be set to Inbox or Outlook Today. Click the Browse button to change to another folder.
The next time you open Outlook, it will automatically default to showing the contents of the folder you selected in the last step. If not, you may be having an issue whereby the default Outlook icon created by Windows always defaults to the default folder, i.e. Inbox or Outlook Today.
If Windows is overriding your manually selected folder, you can remove the registry setting that forces it to the default folder. Simply navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook\shell\open\command You'll see the actual path to the Outlook.exe file along with any parameters.
Now all you have to do is remove the Outlook:Inbox portion in the value and that will prevent Outlook from automatically going to the default Inbox folder. It should look like something below. Remember that depending on your version of Office, the path to the Outlook.exe file may be different, so don't change that. Simply remove the Outlook:Inbox portion of the line.
That's all there is to it! Now you can startup Outlook with a different folder than the usual Inbox. Enjoy!

Now you can also send and receive fax over the Internet. Today I found a interesting website faxzero , which allows you to send FAX to USA and CANADA , right from your computer. You can send a PDF, Microsoft Word (.DOC) file, or Excel spreadsheet (.XLS). or else you can type the message you want to fax. There are few limitations for free fax ...
Ad on the cover page Fax 1 document—maximum 3 pages Maximum 2 free faxes per day
Apart from the free service, they also offer premium fax Just $1.99 per fax (Paypal) (66% saving from India and up to 1000% saving from Europe)
No ad on the cover page Fax 1 document—maximum 15 pages Priority delivery
Isn't it interesting, You can give a try and see it this service may help you sometimes. It is not good to send free FAX for official purpose as it has Ad on cover page. But if you want to send official fax from India, for example all certificates for the admission purpose, you can try the premium service, where you will pay just Rs 80-100 for 15 pages, which is much more cheaper than sending fax from a shop which charges 20 Rs per page. Finally saving by 66% for India. This saving is much more in the case of European countries. So if you want to send fax from Europe to USA, this could be a good choice.
Do not forget to tell your friends who are looking for these kinds of services to save some money. If you already know some of these kinds of sites, please let us know.

We were searching for some integration of Amazon S3 services into Windows Live Writer as we use it to compose the posts and found this really good Amazon S3 browser plugin for Live Writer. Once the plugin is installed, restart WLW and you can see a link at the bottom right portion of WLW.
When you click Insert S3 Object, you will be prompted to enter you Access ID and Secret key for Amazon S3.
Once you enter the details, you will be able to access all you Amazon S3 images uploaded with the folder set up.
You can insert as link or as an image from the S3 browser. This browser also supports uploading of files to your S3 account. This plugin is pretty useful for people using S3 account for image uploading and WLW for composing posts.
Previously we had published a tutorial on how to add watermark for a Word document. You can also add watermarks for Excel sheets, but the procedure to add watermark is different from that of Word documents as Excel does not have a built in feature for doing it. So in Excel you can add an image as watermark to the sheets. Here are the steps to add a watermark in Excel sheet
1. To add an image as watermark, select the Insert tab in the ribbon, make sure you have created a graphical image using your favorite image editor.
2. In the Insert tab, click on the Header and footers button.
3. Header and footers are displayed on the Excel and now click on the "Click to Add Header" on top of the screen.
4. Now select a picture from the Picture button located in the ribbon.
5. Browse for the image you want to add as water mark and add it. Now the image will be displayed on the header. Click Enter on your keyboard to bring it to the center of the sheet. The watermark added will look similar to the one shown below.
This watermark will be available when we take the print of Excel sheets and also in the normal display of sheets.

And now it's the turn of Britney Spears to become a blogger. Britney Spears has relaunched her website BritneySpear.com. The site has a blog as well and this is maintained by the so called Britney Team. It's also great to see that the site has all the elements to market it wonderfully well using the social media platforms like twitter and youtube to name a few.
Following is a welcome video from Britney promising her fans a regular update and cool stuff on the site:
It'd be interesting to see how the site is being maintained and modified and what content comes up on the site. Also, if there will be some time when the site will become a platform to launch her music videos and other similar stuff. The website looks pretty neat. However, I'd have loved to see the main page or the TLD as page which doesn't have a big fold as in it should not be too scrollable. However, the fold can be big on the blog page.

I think the next wave of browsers will have a very important feature of private browsing. Not that it's not already there, but most of the browsers have this feature in the testing phase.
Why do you need the inPrivate or similar features in a browser. Let's say you are going to use a public computer and you don't want any of the private data to reside on such PCs for privacy issues, then I am sure you'll appreciate a feature like this. Also, if you want to browse porn and don't want others in the house to know about it then this feature will come to your rescue.
The only browser that has this feature in the final running mode is chrome. Chrome's privacy feature is called as incognito and you can launch a new incognito chrome window using the shortcut CTRL+Shift+N. But launching chrome directly into incognito mode is not possible. I searched the web for ways to achieve this but in vain.
The only way to launch chrome's incognito is to first launch the normal chrome and only then launch the incognito window. So, I got curious to know if this achieving this functionality in Internet Explorer Beta 2 is as impossible as chrome. Good news is that you can actually launch the IE beta 2 directly into the inPrivate mode without having to start it in normal mode first. But before we do this, let us understand what inPrivate mode is and how it affects your browsing.
InPrivate™ Browsing lets you control whether or not IE saves your browsing history, cookies, and other data.
While InPrivate Browsing is active, the following takes place:
Addresses typed into the address bar are not stored
Queries entered into the search box are not stored
Visited links will not be stored
Isn't this handy! Now let's see how to start IE 8 beta 2directly into the inPrivate mode.
1. On the desktop, right-click your mouse and select New->Shortcut 2. Type in the following line into the Shortcut window prompted out: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" –private 3. Click Next. 4. Add a name for this new shortcut, e.g. IE-InPrivate 5. Click Finish.
You now have an Internet Explorer shortcut that'd start you IE 8 beta 2 directly into inPrivate mode. Enjoy hassle free browsing!

This might be a feature which many of Indian users are waiting for. As many people cannot afford for GPRS & many people even don’t know about how to use GPRS. Mobee.in forwards all your emails via SMS to your phone. This service doesn’t requires any GPRS connection which can be used on any mobile phone which supports SMS.
Login was bit time consuming for me, as they sent mobile verification code & password to mobile via SMS. One should have been enough to verify mobile phone, either they could have sent password or verification code. After sign up, it took me 3-4 mins to find out how to change password! I actually went to “My Account” to change password, but it was provided at “Dashboard”.
After sign up it creates an email ID something like yourmobleno@mobee.in. This email ID should be added in “Forwarding Options” of actual email service. Like in gmail, goto “Settings–>Forwarding & POP” & forward your mails to mobee.in email ID. Now mails sent at gmail comes to your mobile via SMS. Mobee.in has filtering options & black list using which you can receive only emails which are important via SMS.
Mobee.in isn’t a completely service, infact it cannot be continued using for free. Upon sign up user gets 20 credits, means can receive 20 emails via SMS. Free account also has limitation of only 10 emails per day. You have to buy more credits to continue using this service. If you get too many emails & an active user of internet, this might not workout. GPRS might come cheap. This service will be useful if you want to track important emails like Job Offerings, Interview replies…etc using filters.
Shift+Del is easy to delete but hard to recover, Is this you have in your mind? Nope, Now there are options to recover deleted mails from outlook.

1. Go to Run by clicking on Start and type in regedit. 2. Now go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand Software. 3. You will find Microsoft there. Expand Microsoft. 4. Expand exchange and then client. 5. You will find Options there. Right click on Options, choose New and click on D Word Value. 6. Now right click the new Dword Value and rename it to DumpsterAlwaysOn. Note: This is case sensitive. 7. Right click on the DumpsterAlwaysOn and modify the Value data to 1 and click on OK. When you type 1, this means the Recovery deleted Item is on. Also 0 to turn it off. 8. Now open Outlook and click on Tools. 9. Choose 'Recovery Deleted Items'
Free group SMS service is not new to India now. The leadrunner SMSGupshup along with Vakow etc are well placed in this feild now. No one would have expected big brand like Google to enter this market. Google has started a service SMS Channels, but still in labs.

Google calls groups as channels & it’s quite easy to create a channel. Since almost everyone has a google account, there is no need for sign up. Just use your Google Account to login & create a channel.
Friends, There are lot of websites to send free sms which I'm listing below so that you can save time in searching for sites and directly start sending sms. Some sites have daily limits and most of them add advertisement below your sms...
With Apple store being too nagging to approve applications for iPhones, people often resort jail breaking to get these applications working on their phone. This was the case up until now for Fring, a free mobile Voice-over-IP service (VoIP). However, this application is now available officially at apple store.
What does this mean. This means that now you don’t have to jailbreak or hack your iPhone to get this application running on your phone and now skype calls can be made on the iPhones. Using Fring you can also chat with your friends over Google Talk, AIM, MSN and Yahoo messenger and also Frings own chat service.
Also watch the video below to see this software in action
If you love to use skype and have been waiting for a solution that can make skype service available on your iPhone then your wait is over. Grab your Fring application from the apple store.

Are you concerned about your telephone bills. Do you change plans or wish to change your service provider because you’ve had poor experience with the huge mobile bills that you incurred. Or you are just researching to find what’s the best mobile service provider for your kind of mobile usage. Now you have a service that tells you exactly the service provider that you’ll need to cut your payments on the mobile bills. I am afraid this service is only available for Indian mobile users.
This service is called as YourBillBuddy and helps you know what is the best plan and which service provider is going to provide you with such a plan. As the site says and rightly so, there’s no one best plan for all the people. The best plan however depends on various parameters like:
1) Which provider are you on ? 2) Which providers do you call the most ? 3) Are the voice calls you make STD or Local ? 4) What time of day do you call ? 5) Are there some numbers you call most often ? 6) Are the calls you are making roaming ? 7) Are the calls being made to landlines or Mobiles ? Same parameters apply on your SMS usage as well.
Now that I have managed to open your eyes to the parameters that affect your mobile bill, I am sure you are curious to know what plan will best suit your needs. Based on all the above information (which of course you have to share with the service YourBillBuddy) you’ll be given a best plan for the kind of usage you have.
This is calculated: from the whole variety of plans available in your circle. With an average 6 Providers, 10 plans each, with around 8 Service packs available to go as a addon to the plan leaving you with a choice of almost 480 (6*10*8) plan + service pack combinations !! Of these roughly 500 plan combinations only ONE is best for you based on your usage.
You’ll have to submit your ebills of your current plan and service provider for the site to pick the heuristics and calculate for you the best plan available. Following is how the site promises to calculate your mobile usage pattern and come up with a plan for you which is the best plan available.
From your E-Bill we extract call details of each and every single call you make. For each call you make we determine the attributes of the call that effect the billing rate. The attributes we consider in our calculations are the service provider of the number called, units of call, your pulse rate in the current plan, type of call (STD/ISD/Local), Time of call, is the call made while Roaming, is the called number a landline or a mobile. Same extraction process is followed for every SMS you make. In short summary all the hundreds of calls and SMSs that appear in your E-Bill are extracted and the relevant details that will impact your bill are pulled up. This extraction is supported for hundreds of E-Bill formats available across Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance, Tata Indicom and Idea.
The company says that after they’ve had your ebills and they have given you the best plan they also would give you free sms worth rupees 700 to be sent to your contacts. If you are concerned about the privacy, you might want to read their privacy policy here. Personally, I use a prepaid mobile and hence haven’t tested this service (for the lack of ebills for prepaid). However, if any of our reader would like to share their experience about the service, it’ll be great for us to rate it and for our other users to try it.
Also, I am delightfully surprised to see such a useful service being launched in India.

Finding, sharing and downloading files has been becoming easier by day both because of the better technology and increasing bandwidth and speed. If torrents have been a ground breaking technology to share things (most of the times illegally), then file hosting services have had their own share of success and criticism.
Rapidshare, is probably a classic example of file hosting service that has been the most successful example of doing business by uploading and downloading user generated and shared content. Let’s try to see:
What is Rapidshare? What it means to a normal user? What are the benefits it can give you? How can you use rapidshare to download stuff? How can you search rapidshare to get the most out of it? How can you get premium account with rapidshare by sharing files which will be downloaded? How can you use rapidshare to generate money (yes, it’s a viable business model)? Let’s answer these questions and I am sure we’ll cover everything related to rapidshare. Consider this as a tutorial and one stop shop for know everything about rapidshare and similar services.
1. What is RapidShare? This is what Wikipedia has to say RapidShare is a German owned one-click hosting pay- and free-service (with limitations) website that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users. Rapidshare is one of the world’s largest file-hosting sites with millions of files stored on its servers. According to Alexa, Rapidshare.com is currently the 12th most visited website. In simple words, you can use rapidshare to upload files up to 200 MB each and share that link with a friend for her/him to download.
2. What does Rapidshare mean to a normal user? For a normal user it’s a platform to share and download applications, movies, music and literally everything that can be downloaded from Internet. You just need to know the link of download and you are good to go.
3. How can you benefit from Rapidshare? Well, the benefits are multi fold. One, you can share and download files. Two, you can download files of other users if you know the download link. That means there are limitless possibilities for you to get a file which you are not getting otherwise. These files could be both legal and illegal. Also, the great download speed from Rapidshare makes it a superior platform to download files compared to torrents.
4. How can you use rapidshare to download stuff? As is the case with most of the services, free download from rapidshare is limited to certain amount of download per hour per IP. So if your internet connection is of dynamic IP you can flush your IP to download more files as a free user. However, this also comes as a disadvantage because your ISP can assign you an IP for your session which was used recently by other user who used rapidshare to download stuff. This means that even though you have not downloaded anything as a free user you cannot download if someone used that IP to download. This is a classic problem when you are trying to download from office, university or college which has same IP for 100s of users. You can however, buy a rapidshare premium account to take advantage of both high speed download and over 10 GB continuous download in a day. You can check the advantages you get with a rapidshare premium account over free account here.
5. How can you search rapidshare to get the most out of it? Well, this is the most typical problem and actually has the most easy solution. The problem is that fact that Rapidshare doesn’t have a search facility because of confidentiality of files of it’s users. However, there are many resources out there both software based and online services which can help you search rapidshare. Just Google "rapidshare search" and you should get what you are looking for. However, I am more of a believer of the fact that Google can be used to search for almost anything out there which has a web presence and so I use Google to search rapidshare. How do I do it: Let’s say I am searching for the movie Iron Man, I’d use a search query which is something like this: "Iron Man" rapidshare.com site:blogspot.com Let me explain this. Because I am looking for Iron Man, I have used that as the first query and that too in quotes so Google knows that I am looking for Iron Man as a term and not as 2 different words. The next part of the search has rapidshare.com, this means that I am also looking for rapidshare.com along with Iron Man. And the last one is a query modifier i.e. site:blogspot.com. That means I am telling Google to look for Iron Man and/or rapidshare.com only on blogspot.com. The reason I am using blogspot.com is because I’ll avoid a lot of webspam as blogspot is mostly user generated and is not created by machine. I am most likely to find results for Iron Man movie to be downloaded from rapidshare using the above query or I can modify and make the query more precise. Something like this: "Iron Man"+rapidshare.com site:blogspot.com I added + which tells google to look for pages which have both iron man and rapidshare.com
6. How can you get premium account with rapidshare by sharing files which will be downloaded? As we just discussed premium account is the best bet if you want to unleash the power of rapidshare.com. You can either buy a rapidshare premium account or ensure that you collect enough points as a free uploader so that you can convert those points into buying a premium rapidshare account. Let me explain: As a free uploader, when you upload files to rapidshare, rapidshare gives you point every time the file is being downloaded. That means if you are an uploader of Iron Man movie and I download it, you get some points. You can accrue these points to buy a premium account, This means that you’ll have to upload good number of files and ensure that you post them on a lot of forums and blogs so that people download the files and you make points.
7. How can you use rapidshare to generate money (yes, it’s a viable business model)? Now then, if you are smart, you can extend your knowledge from point six discussed above and generate so many points that you can create multiple premium accounts. Next you can sell these accounts to various buyers for a discounted price thus making money. We hope that this guide will help you with your quest for using rapidshare more effectively and possibly making some money out of it.
SERPs Finder is a free SEO (Search Engine Optimization) utility that allows you to find rankings of your pages in all major search engines. SERPs Finder can easily check search engine position of your site for a given query in Google, Live Search, and Yahoo! Search.
Despite it's simplicity it is one of the most powerful tools of its kind, unlike many others it searches for position deeply, analyzing first 1000 of search engine results. It is also incredibly fast, the only practical limit is the speed of your network connection.

If someone of you still have problems please let us know. It is possible to rewrite the program to search the first 100 results trough only one Google query (currently there are 10 queries).

Realnetworks recently launched its controversial software which lets users copy their DVD content to PC’s, Laptops or media players.
I was surprised at the RealPlayer Plugin which lets users download videos from any flash based player on the internet. That was not the end of it; RealDVD lets users copy all the DVD content from the DVD to a computer.
Copying a movie from DVD is as simple as inserting the DVD in the DVD drive, launching the RealDVD application and clicking on COPY; didn’t I tell you it was simple?
The software also offers features like Information on each DVD from Gracenote, Cast information, etc.. As RealDVD gathers information such as gener, cast members, MPAA ratings for every DVD copied using RealDVD it makes it possible for you to pull movies based on type, Comedy, Action, etc..
One thing you should know about RealDVD is that the content of the DVD which is copied to a specific location on the computer or a laptop is locked in that location. It does not let you move or copy the content from there.
RealDVD is currently available for $29.99 as part of its introductory offer however the original price of the software is $49.99. Click here to visit RealDVD and Buy or Download RealDVD Trial Version of the software.
Few Facts from RealNetworks Press Release
RealDVD saves an exact copy of the DVD image to a PC’s internal or portable hard drive. Users can simultaneously watch and save a DVD
Saved DVDs are then encrypted and locked again to make sure they cannot be shared or stolen
Saving DVDs takes an average of 10-40 minutes, and takes up roughly 4-8 gigabytes of space
RealDVD lets users pause and resume playback where they left off
Watching a saved movie or TV show with RealDVD uses less battery life than viewing the same content from a physical disc in the drive
Consumers can browse cover art, genre, title rating and actor information, imported automatically during saving Parental controls ensure children only access entertainment that is appropriate for their age

This might be a feature which many of Indian users are waiting for. As many people cannot afford for GPRS & many people even don’t know about how to use GPRS. Mobee.in forwards all your emails via SMS to your phone. This service doesn’t requires any GPRS connection which can be used on any mobile phone which supports SMS.
Free group SMS service is not new to India now. The leadrunner SMSGupshup along with Vakow etc are well placed in this feild now. No one would have expected big brand like Google to enter this market. Google has started a service SMS Channels, but still in labs. Eventhough Google is a big brand, it has to face tight competition in this area.
Are you concerned about your telephone bills. Do you change plans or wish to change your service provider because you’ve had poor experience with the huge mobile bills that you incurred. Or you are just researching to find what’s the best mobile service provider for your kind of mobile usage. Now you have a service that tells you exactly the service provider that you’ll need to cut your payments on the mobile bills. I am afraid this service is only available for Indian mobile users.
