Hey, been looking for a web-based replacement for Visio? Well look no further, there is one and it’s called Gliffy. Its a nice tool for diagramming and creating flow charts or floor plans, or network drawings. Neat stuff to add to your web-office arsenal, and highly recommended by yours truly – I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it fills my needs completely.
You can learn more about Gliffy here.
Here is a great new service that I found – FLV Online Converter! The trick it does is convert a YouTube (or similar service) video into a downloadable file in the format of your choice! A screen cap of the conversion process is at right.
Although I’m a strong believer in online services, this is one neat tool that I’ll recommend to people who need an offline version of a YouTube video.
Of course, a prudent person would observe the rights of copyrighted material – right?
Talkster is one of those services that will cross the revolutionary threshold for many. With a clientless web-based platform, nearly any device can use the service. That is something that makes a jump in usability for many.

The Read/Write Web has a fantastic article covering what is increasingly called Mobile 2.0. In this article by Rudy De Waele, they cover the essence of what Mobile 2.0 is.
With the proliferation of smart mobile devices and high-speed mobile data services, applications and services need to become simpler and more intuitive. They also need to become standardized as Rudy talks about.
A real need to bring those sharp minds developing advanced feature sets on desktop software, should instead start looking at how to bring simplicity and elegance to web applications to solve the simple problems of of the moment.

Wow, great news for those of you who have embraced the modern world of online applications and document storage!
Zoho has interoperability with Microsoft Office via a downloadable plugin that allows Office users to save Word & Excel documents directly to their Zoho account. This functionality helps blur the line between remotely hosted and local applications.
“People are asking for this,†Vegesna said. “Currently they have to go to Zoho.com, login, and upload documents. We have them doing this an average of five times per day. This will let them go straight to Zoho without having to go to Zoho.com, upload, etc.â€
Zoho is also opening its API’s so that online storage providers could tap into the Zoho engine and provide more seamless integration of storage options.
I’ve been using Zoho (and Google Docs & Spreadsheets) for most of 2006. There are definite differences between the offerings, but Zoho has made the most progress towards an integrated feature-rich office suite. By offering the ability to upload/download documents directly to your Zoho account – their product becomes even more useful and productive.
This new feature is compatible with Office 2000, 2003, and 2007 by the way.

Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
